Comment on Why do we not eat pig or cow?
whenigrowup356@lemmy.world 1 year agoIf you don’t mind my asking, which language is yours?
It’s an interesting question to ponder which different languages ended up with distinction words for the meat vs the living animal, and maybe what that says about the culture.
The distinction is not a feature of French, from what I understand, and English ending up with this distinction seems to have been entirely accidental.

It’s Czech. It also applies to Slovakian.
