I grew up with all French comics and cartoons, and it's so weird watching native englishers call like Tintin's dog "Snowy" or call Tintin "Tintin" for that matter.

Is Tintin not called Tintin??? I am a bit confused about the latter

So long i or what? I don't really ubderstand your answer

In Danish the dog's called "Terry" (probably because the translator considered that a cute name for a terrier) and has his profession (🤔) listed as "Astronaut, seaman" on Danish Wikipedia 😄

Huh... I've always thought tintin a the name of a dog but I guess that's rin tin tin and that those are two competly unrelated things. TIL

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Are they a female dog in the French version? Or just have a feminine name?

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Terry is a gender neutral name

[–] eepydeeby@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 20 minutes ago

Close enough! It's "pâté de crabe"!

It’s interesting how (for me, at least) “krabby patty” never evoked the idea that Mr Krabs is a cannibal, but somehow the phrase “pâté de crabe” makes that idea inescapable.

It took me embarrassingly long to get this, I thought it was a joke about a mom's affair partner out in public

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 58 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

"No, this is--" damn, I guess that doesn't work here 🤔
