I posit this completely made up definition.
Shark is an adjunction of two words
Sharp; because, well look at them
and Ark; because they are boats.
Sharp-Ark > Shark
Isn’t language funny sometimes
Must know the German name. Brb.
If 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.
I knew that already because it is a Rammstein song.
I love these etymologies where it’s just “this word comes from a similar sounding word with the same meaning.” Who would have guessed.
Me. I would have guessed.Shark: “Hai~ <3”
Hai
HAI PAL!
