 All proper words are like this. There's wisdom in language.

 There’s also fun in language! 🙏🧡

Since I’ve started learning German I’ve rediscovered my love for linguistics! A German told me I was covered in “Sommersprossen” which translates to “Summer-sprinkles” aka “Freckles” 🤗. Also “Chickpeas” in German are called “Kichererbsen” aka “Giggle-peas”…or I call them “hehe peas”! But then if you look further "Kicher" comes from the Latin "cicer" which means "pea". Ergo, “Kichererbsen” means "pea peas" 😂. Ahhh so much fun, learning is never ending! Next…Latin!
