minus-squaresomeguy3@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up16·edit-22 months agoMust know the German name. Brb. *Hai or haifisch. Early 17th century, from Dutch haai, from Middle Dutch haey (15th c.), from Old Norse hár, há- (“shark”). Nothing so interesting I guess.

minus-squareVonReposti@feddit.dklinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 months agoIf you wanna say “hello shark!” in Danish you’ll say “hej haj!” Good thing we don’t have sharks in Danish waters otherwise it’ll become pretty awkward when you greet someone at the beach.
