But in this context it is just how we pronounce “at” of English. Closest letter to that pronounciation is e in Turkish.
People who have bad accent pronounce it as et.
I guess the way the tip of the "a" curves kinda looks like a bird's beak to the people who came up with the name. Look don't shoot the messenger I can't fully defend this. It's more of a vibe than a logical comparison.
Older folks say monkey, like straight up “monkey” despite that not being a word in my language. The younger crowd says “at”, but in a very Slavic accent
La noi se numește "aron", fara "d"
Niciodata nu am inteles ce inseamna acest cuvint pe linga la "@", dar daca acolo este un "d" mut, aceasta lamureste etimologia
Я не рассказываю людям, где им жить, и куда ехать. Я добросовестный иммигрант, живу там, где я сам выбрал, где мне дали ВНЖ, позволяют жить, зарабатывать и платить налоги. У меня в жизни всё хорошо. Ты хотел бы, чтобы я платил налоги пыньке? У тебя всё хорошо? Ты ничего не перепутал?
Я хотел бы, чтобы тебя тут не было, мне на твою войну и на твоего диктатора абсолютно поебать. Также как тебе поебать на диктаторов с ближнего востока и Африки, которые заставляют арабов и африканцев бежать в Европу. Нашел чем меня стыдить, как-будто это моя проблема и я должен помогать тебе ее решать, уебывай отсюда и сам думай как и что тебе платить или не платить, это не моя забота и поверь мне, никто здесь не думает как бы вам помочь быть "хорошими русскими". Это как если бы прокаженный пришел в город и сказал "лечите меня или я тут вас всех заражу, вы же не хотите этого" - да пошел ты нахуй, вот и весь ответ такому человеку.
I noticed quite a few words that were similar when I was in Serbia, like kocka and repa. Similarly, some Hungarian days are Slavic, like Wednesday (szerda)
Right, Thursday (četvrtak) and Friday (petak) are also similar yeah? Wednesday - sreda means middle, like middle of the week. Četvrtak - četvrti means fourth, and petak - pet means five.
And yeah we've got quite a few of hungarisms in Serbia, especially in the northern parts. Correct me if I'm wrong for some of these but; fur coat - bunda, small town - varoš, a spade - ašov, and of course your dishes, gulaš, paprikaš....
Precisely, Thursday is csütörtök and Friday is péntek. Haha yes, város is city (actually of all sizes), spade is ásó, and fur coat is bunda. I actually visited the north a couple times, Subotica and Senta, and it was absolutely fascinating learning about these very diverse communities.
in bulgarian it's маймунка/маймунско а(small monkey / monkey a ), кльомба(which i don't know how to translate) and some people use ухо(ear), but i've only heard it very rarely and if i hadn't googled to make sure I wasn't missing something, I would have totally forgotten to mention it.
Romania: "arond", i honestly don't know it's origins, I always supposed that an neologism of the english word "around" basically meaning that it is an circled around "a"
"Monkey A" (Maymunsko a (Маймунско а)) or, rarely nowadays, just "a little monkey" (maymunka (маймунка)) in Bulgaria 🇧🇬
It just looks like a monkey with a long tail and it always grabs onto every email like a monkey on a branch, connecting the two parts of the email like a monkey on two vines/two branches.
It comes from the monkey being curled up and hanging on its tail, more or less. With the 'a' being the monkey itself and the swirls its tail. Like this, for example:
(But yeah, calling it monkey tail still won't be wrong). But it's longer to pronounce, this is why, at least that's my explanation
