natively, cheese and queso

also, queijo in my third language, and formaggio, fromage, ser, сыр, and queixo (not fluent)

then, in the languages i wanna know more of: チーズ、奶酪/起司，جبنة

[–] SonofaBixcuit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago

ayyyy جبنة twins!!

[–] SonofaBixcuit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

my parents’ language, we say 奶酪 or جبنة

growing up, from others it’d be ser or queso.

in my Grandpa’s language would say: גבינה but he also spoke arabic

(i only know a little Chinese and Arabic. i can write a little in Chinese but can’t write in Arabic at all.)

Kaas.

Fun fact: New York was founded by the Dutch. A curse word for a Dutch guy was "Jan Kaas", which changed over the years to "Yankees".
