But wait - in Chinese, you’ll actually find it written like this: 手纸. It’s the same word 紙 (“paper”), just simplified in the 20th century. Japanese, however, adopted kanji back in the 5th century, so they kept the traditional characters 😊 Even the ink remembers… ✨

FINALLYYY got what coupons actually mean 😅💡 When you get a $200 coupon, it doesn’t mean they give you $200 😭 It means if something costs $300, you use the coupon and pay only $100 🥲💸 I feel like I’m the last one to find this out but AI told me it’s a common misunderstanding, so I thought I’d share, maybe it helps someone 😁

What made the idea grow in my mind is how tempting similarity can be - it looks so real! That’s how language tricks me into digging deeper with excitement, and when I finally find out they’re not related at all… I can almost hear it laughing at me haha 😄 Thanks a lot for watching and for the lovely feedback ✨

If, like me, you thought that “France,” “Franco,” or “French” were words derived from Latin, you’re mistaken - just like me 👀 The region was originally inhabited by the Gauls, and when Rome fell, it was taken over by Germanic kingdoms called the "Franks" 😯 and their language influenced the local Latin, which is why French developed differently compared to other Romance languages Wow, I’m still amazed by this fact 🫨

One of the funniest historical facts I came across 😂 The Vikings actually reached North America about 500 years before Columbus (around 1000 AD), but since they were fishermen, and fishermen usually keep good fishing spots secret 😂 they didn’t spread the word about it. That’s why, until today, the “discovery” of America is tied in most people’s minds to just one name: Columbus.
