It's arse, not ass.
Maybe it's the name of the animal?
Le cul d'un âne.
No, it's for arse.
It's this meant to be ass as in your rear end? Or like a donkey? If it's the former the UK is actually arse. Ass is north American
This is not a 100% accurate. I guess it is based on some translation tool. Arabic word used is standard Arabic which is very polite. Dialects use other words depending on the degree of vulgarity. Many countries have the same different words to describe the same. Think of it like ass, rear and bottom.
What I'm getting at is though that no-one I know in the UK (unless they "terminally" consume North American content) says "ass" unironically. They say "arse".
Which means the chart is not accurate.
Oh right, I think I misread your reply as in saying my comment was not 100% accurate.
Isnt arabic actually a bunch of different langauges? It would make sense the universal one would be polite.
Arabic is same language. But there are different dialects. Like Liverpool english, highpoch, RP, amrican English, southern English, and maybe even Irish and Scottish.
I would not say the universal one but the standard one which could be considered as an equivalent of text book English or RP.
All the translations are for rear end so
So it should be "Arse"
Portugal uses "rabo" or "cu". "Bunda" is more a Portuguese Brazilian thing.
It has some differences like UK English and US English.
And "ass" is American.
Exatamente. “Traseiro” é uma alternativa adequada
Is that where bunda in the uk as slang for ass comes from?
Yeah. Same word. More a Brazilian thing I believe - unless there’s some Portuguese who know better and can correct me.
Ahem ahemmmm hexcuse me, we speak English in the UK, not Murikan.
It's Arse, not Ass.
:-P
In Hungarian it says "segglyuk", but that means "asshole". It should be "segg" to match "ass".
Segg like in rendőrségg ?
Hm, I wonder if that’s related to German “Loch,” with the same meaning?

Austrian here:
It is refereed to as “oasch” almost everywhere in Austria instead of “arsch”
Zoomers: GYAT
Prochi (პროჭი) in Georgian means asshole specifically, it should say traki (ტრაკი) for ass
Is this the famous κωλος of Rhodes ?
The Arabic "muakhirah" means something like "the behind". Funny enough, it shares some roots with the word "muta'akhir" which means "being late" and "akhir" which means "the latest". It's polite and used even in some dialects to just refer politely to it. Every dialect though has other specific words that are more vulgar. Some are different in every country. Egyptians would use "Tiz" to refer to it and Moroccans would use the more vulgar "Zok". Middle Eastern countries also often use "Tiz".
In Norwegian depending on context and where you're from you might say other words like Rumpe, Rass, Rauv, etc. The most polite and normally written one of them is Rumpe.
задник is so hilarious from the perspective of Russian. xD
'backdrop'?
Why the question mark?
Ah, because I used a translate app and wasn't sure if it did it correctly. So as I found the translation funny, I wasn't sure it was the same thing you were aiming at.
I can't think of anything close. The only thing I got is "rear...something" and "back...something". I don't think it's even a real word in Russian, but it does sound like one, and that's why it's funny (and it also describes ass).
Göt is just a beautiful world to say.
Why does Norway have a different color than Denmark and Sweden?
Oh wow, Top Gear was right.
in maltese (the one at the bottom center) it's just "sorm".
"Toqba tas-sorm" means "asshole"
Röv karta, no donkeys :-)
Portugal is wrong........
Asal in Ireland means the donkey sort of ass not the ass sort of ass!
