TAXI - is the same and means the same in all those languagues. Whereas some of the examples given above are English imports used instead of the native language to attract anglophones. They have local terms, e.g in French voiture for an automobile; sexe for sex and automatique for automatic. Automobile is hardly even used in England, they use car. TAXI is French, Danish, Dutch ... etc. for TAXI. l3i7l could be right with RADIO though. Feb 04 01, 5:21 PM

What 4 letter (non rude) word is spelt the same in English, French, Portuguese, Swedish and German? How many languages use the rolling of Rs like Spanish or German, as English does not? Why is the letter J pronounced differently in English, French, Spanish and German? I have been listening to some German music trying to read the lyrics along with it, is there a general rule for when you should roll the R's, or can it always be rolled, also how come German, Spanish, French, all have rolling of the R's, but English doesn't, it makes it much harder for English speakers to speak those other languages fluently?
