>literally "water stuff"
How can anyone take thid language seriously.
The dutch word for hydrogen is waterstof
Blake Morgan
Jaxon Collins
"Hydrogen" is just "water stuff" in Greek
Bentley Ortiz
This is why I'm glad French muttified the English language, along with many other languages to some extent.
Isaac Cox
lmao do they really?
Owen Ward
Yeah, but Greek is a smart and big-brain language, while Germanic languages like Dutch are silly and funny
Chase Young
Cringe cope
Camden Richardson
'Stof' doesn't mean 'stuff' silly American, it either means 'dust' or 'matter'.
Nicholas Butler
same in german
Juan Miller
You're not going to see where the word "hydrogen" comes from, dude, trust me
James Nelson
Yes, but that sounds fancier.
Landon Williams
False, it means "water agent"
Waterstuff, sourstuff and so on also exist in English, and they would be the standard forms if England wasn't so Francophilic and didn't readily import the words coined by Lavoisier and other French chemists. You can thank us
Joshua Watson
In Russian it's "Vodorod" lit. something that gives birth to water.
Luis Turner
Abyss in haitian creole is "gwo twou san fon" ("big hole without bottome" but written in a more retarded way)
Brody Peterson
Same as hydrogen then, water agent
Josiah Nelson
This, but unironically.
Lincoln Martin
>Waterstuff, sourstuff and so on also exist in English
this, dumb EFLs keep losing...
Christopher Harris
Bottom*
Andrew Scott
>False, it means "water agent"
False, it means "water birther/creator". The -gen in hydrogen is the same as the gen- in genesis.
Aiden Brown
That's exactly what agent means here
Dominic Cook
Agent
>An active power or cause or substance; something (e.g. biological, chemical, thermal, etc.) that has the power to produce an effect.
Ayden Edwards
it only sounds retarded because dutch like english didn't complete germanic sound shift. Wasserstoff sounds a lot more normal. In general it makes more sense for a liquid element such as water to have an s sound in it (smooth and liquid-like) and not a hard t sound in it that evokes more feelings of concrete than liquid
