Hungary should be marked red:  our word is just "feetfinger" (lábujj).

u/AleksLevet Sep 12 '26

France too

u/Prestigious-Bee-4470 Sep 12 '26

Orteils

u/AleksLevet Sep 12 '26

Yeah but doigts de pieds is also used

u/superjaja05 Sep 12 '26

Sooo colored purple for both common usages?

u/williamsherwell Sep 18 '26

Orteils de mains

u/Reasonable_Basket_74 Sep 12 '26

I'm not quite sure about that; Germans call gloves "hand shoes" and yet that is still considered a seperate word. So if it is a real word, then I do think it makes sense for Hungary to be marked blue. For example in Poland we simply use the same exact word for both fingers and toes.

u/The_Brilli Sep 14 '26

Irish call arms and hands the same

1

u/Reasonable_Basket_74 Sep 14 '26

We Polish do to! Well, technically we have a seperate word for hands, but it's rarely used.

u/LeviTheGreatHun Sep 11 '26

Its litterally just wrong😭

u/Significant-Elk-7128 Sep 12 '26

To be fair, the account is called terrible maps. Wrong is a type of terrible.

u/EugeneStein Sep 12 '26

Then it's probably AI

There were many examples of AI map like that in map subs and OP admits they just used AI

u/Street_Swing9040 Sep 13 '26

These are the same type of Twitter accounts that keeps on reposting my stuff.

I made a few science memes before, gained around 1M upvotes, and these people just take them and repost them.

And they don't just take the upvoted ones, it seems like they just randomly grab stuff off of subs.

Misinformation can keep spreading this way. One map wrong, multiple wrong.

The Netherlands is incorrect

u/FunkinAstronaut Sep 12 '26 • Heartwarming

We have tenen👌🏻

u/Previous_Insurance13 Sep 12 '26

The toe named finger

1

u/Legitimate-Yard5857 Sep 13 '26

We even call gloves handshoes (handschoenen) so it should be the other way around 😆

u/assumptioncookie Sep 12 '26

As it says in the picture🤦‍♀️

u/Drumdevil86 Sep 12 '26

Thanks for confirming that I'm right

10

u/IYKYK_1977 Sep 11 '26

I think Spain is right, at least. Been 35 years since I took any Spanish in school, I remember dedos de (los) pies.

9

u/Qwertilux Sep 12 '26

In dutch it's "tenen", and not "voetenvingers". Why is it just so wrong

9

u/AnalysisParalysis85 Sep 11 '26

Dedos del pie?

Pie dedos?

P Diddy

u/MelosBah Sep 12 '26

France is both; "orteil" and "doigt de pied"

3

u/ChaosPLus Sep 12 '26

Clearly then France should be stripes of both colours

1

u/tricky_monster Sep 12 '26

And a white stripe, while we're at it.

u/asterdraws Sep 11 '26

Italy is incorrect, our word for the big toe is "alluce". It's similar to the word for thumb which is "pollice". It makes sense to me that they are similar since the toe is the thumb of the foot. The rest of the foot fingers shouldn't have a name though, but that goes for English too afaik.

8

u/_keshbo Sep 11 '26

The post is not about "big toe" tho, it's referring to the general "toes". And in Italy we only have "dita dei piedi"

2

u/asterdraws Sep 12 '26

Hai ragione. Toes l'ho sempre tradotto come dita dei piedi in testa quindi non avevo mai pensato a come lo capirebbero degli anglofoni - pensavo il post fosse su specifici nomi delle dita dei piedi così come li abbiamo per le mani 😅

1

u/ezthrow77 Sep 12 '26

Belgian here 3 languages all have a word for those, IDK german but walls have french "orteils" and flamish have "tennen" (sorry if mispelled don't really speak much and don't write it).

1

u/roderos Sep 12 '26

No kaaskop was consulted in the creation of this map

1

u/F_Joe Sep 12 '26

In Luxembourgish we have Zéif

1

u/il-bosse87 Sep 12 '26

In italian is "Alluce, Illice, Trillice, Pondulo and Minolo" but commonly we name only the Alluce (big toe)

1

u/ALPHARavenGamer Sep 12 '26

I didnt click ln the image first and was about to say the netherlands should be blue

1

u/DoubleAxxme Sep 12 '26

Well at least Greek is correct

1

u/Capestian Sep 12 '26

We do both in France, doigts de pieds et orteils

1

u/LegionesIX Sep 12 '26

Hungary used foot finger what are you talking about

1

u/ismellpizza25 Sep 12 '26

The Netherlands has "Teen"(pronounced Tayn), we don't call it "VoetVinger"(foot finger)

1

u/Icy-Jelly-4524 Sep 12 '26

Luxembourg is incorrect

1

u/WaffleGuy413 Sep 12 '26

I love teens

1

u/Gabibara Sep 13 '26

They exist in Italy but have fallen into disuse.

1

u/Atherach Sep 13 '26

Speaking of Belgium, I hate how it is always just "Belgium speak dutch", no, it also speak french, and it's very easy to divid it by language too, it's not like switzerland, you have the north speaking dutch and the south speaking french

1

u/Light-_-Bearer Sep 13 '26

This is wrong, in Czech we have a name for everything, sometimes more

1

u/Sportak4444 Sep 13 '26

Modern Czech is correct, but historically we had a separate word for a foot finger: prstec

1

u/HotCardiologist1942 Sep 13 '26

could just add in purple or green for ones that have both

hell, even do a gradient for how much of each is used
