Translation of Pet

In Chinese they are called "beloved animals."
...but sometimes we just call them "masters". Especially cats.

What is the mosquito doing here?

@Mingolfssonjr
"We share our life and home with them".
:P

In Sweden if you directly translate "pet", it'll be "house animal"

@NENEPAPAWINECHUDAI Sällskapsdjur = Companion animal or do you have another name for pats I don't know about?

@Jem sorry i replied this late lol, but there is actually. Sällskapsdjur is a old Swedish word, nowadays we use "husdjur" which is as i typed, house pet

I think this comic should be tagged as the countries the pets names are from

like Brazil, Scandinavia, Spain, Hungary, Israel, France and, Philippines

like how Ladybug Around the World has the country names tagged

@AB1991 Pet Rocks were a thing, pretty popular.

I decided to name all the pets after food

Cat: Cheeto
Dog: Bagel
Bird: Banana Peanut Butter
Guinea Pig: Potato
mosquito: Muffin

In Sweden we actually call them "house animals".

Google Translate says we call them "companion animals" and that the translation is verified by contributors. Might be a regional thing but I've never heard that term.

(Sidenote, what's up with 5 comics with dates ranging between January and March showing up at the end of April?)

@Leonick Sällskapsdjur is a term I've heard, but husdjur is much more common I would say.

@anarfox Yea with some more thought I've probably heard it, but it isn't common. Google suggesting it and not even mentioning husdjur felt really odd.

@Leonick the five comic update (there actually more) is because for years there where comics that were only on Facebook but now Dayvi put them on the site

In Norway you could say kjæledyr or husdyr

Kjæledyr means pet animals
Husdyr means house animals

I think a more fitting translation of the Filipino term, in relation to how it was used in the post, is "a living thing entrusted to the care of someone". Pests are sometimes ironically referred to as pets to make light of having them around.

in korean we call them "partner animals" because they're like a partner to your life

glad to know that loving animals is a universal language :smile:
