They actually the same size, it's just latin alphabet is stupid and doesn't have a letter for sound SH.

Šort

Anyway, short in Estonian is "lühike" and long is "pikk" so we have the same issue

[–] positiveWHAT@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hahaha, "pikk" means penis in norwegian

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

And the word you use for salmon in Norwegian means “spank” (noun not verb) in Estonian

Also I’m craving some røkt laks right now, could you mail me some?

[–] LOLseas@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

"Pik" in Dutch is also penis.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Pikk even sounds small, just like words have a certain phonetic sound.

long is "pikk"

Incidentally, "dick" in Danish is "pik" regardless of what dimensions you're packing

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well I think ideally you would want a pikk pik. You may additionally want it to be jäme.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jäme is thick? Delicious? Mighty?

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Thick. But of course a mighty cock sounds good too

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Poland chiming in. "Długi" and "Krótki". Same problem.

[–] NovaSel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Doesn't the same apply for "ng"? That seems like it could be one letter.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah, but ng could easily be one letter, it’s just not in English.
