Yep, "mango" is surprisingly consistent across every language I checked, but in Bengali and possibly quite a few other similar widely spoken languages it's different. Whereas "sushi" I haven't found a language using a distinct word for so far.
Actually, there is: Japanese (and Korean)!
The English word 'sushi' can be translated into Japanese as 'sushi' or 'sashimi' or even 'gimbap'. (Careful English speakers also use the borrowings 'sashimi' and 'gimbap' etc, but casual English speakers will refer to all of these and more as just 'sushi'.)
Similar to how Kindergarten means different things in English and German.
Am I missing something?
Kindergarten to Germans: usually its own establishment, available but not mandatory from age 3, usually has fees in the 200 EUR/mo range for all day with hot lunch (with further subsidies for poorer families), rather like an American preschool for ages 3-5, with the 5-6 year (“Vorschuljahr”) being more like American kindergarten.
Btw, Singaporean English uses Kindergarten in yet another subtle different meaning. They distinguish day care and Kindergarten.
Perhaps simpler: naively German Brot and English bread are the same words. Similar for German Kuchen and English Cake.
But there are lots of things that an English speaker might call bread, that a German speaker might call Kuchen. (Brioche might be one such example.)
আম or Āma
which is similar to the Hindi/Urdu word Aam (आम in Devanagari script) (آم in Urdu script).
>> Like chai vs tea, the two words (that I know of) are aam and mango.
I was referring to either aam or mango being a word that's common in many languages throughout the world, like chai and tea. So, আম or Āma is similar enough to Aam (आम or آم).
Sushi, for the most part, is seafood raw, and gimbap often has heavily marinated beef or other non-fish meat.
Yes. But if you put an authentic Korean gimbap in front of your average English speaker, they'll call it Sushi.
When 19th century Germans talked about railways, they mostly used English loanwords. But gradually most of those have been replaced with more 'native' creations.
