Small world: Same word, different language

(1/12) > >>

Samrc:
The world is getting smaller.   Our world languages are overlapping. 
So how about a list of words that appear in many languages without changing the spelling/meaning.  If you go to one of the countries and use this word, people should understand what you mean!

Cite the word, and the 2 or more languages. 

first word:   

NO       (English, Italian)




(modified to clarify instruction.  not intended to define a word in all languages)

Ed:
computer       (English, German)

Samrc:
hamburger   (english, german, french)








(Tony and E:  I deleted your earlier posts because of the confusion in the two similar threads.  I moved the WELCOME/HELLO to welcome area since Tony asked that the game be stopped. Cleared this thread and put a better description in the first post so the game can proceed. )

Tony:
pizza (worldwide)  >:D

Tony:
pasta ?

spaghetti ?  ??? :-\

 rofl rofl

I think those are words worldwide recognized, aren't them?
