Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

animal and plant names are terrible in any language, but it's soooo much worse when you're trying to remember them in two languages at once...

i kinda know what a pocok is, but what the fuck is that in english? what's a stoat in hungarian? what about a beech? i probably know its name in hungarian, but i cant connect it to the english names...
