Translation of Pet

The Brazillian part really is true

The Finnish word for pet is "lemmikki" which comes from the old word "lempi" and means "favourite/favoured/beloved one". The long form is "lemmikkieläin" which means "favourite/favoured/beloved animal".

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

"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

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