Witch - In your language

I speak 3 languages and I've noticed that the word "witch" is different from each others, so how do you call this in your country?

In Italian is: Strega

Ragana

Vedjma

Czarownica
Wiedźma

Vid'ma

Häxa

Bruja

Veduet silu -- Knowers of power.

Majo

Bruxa

Penyihir

gandakelling

holy quads

Noita

veshterka

Čarovnica
Vešča

See, OP, the term actually isn't different in all languages.

hag

Sorcière.

Striga

Bruja

Čarodejnica kokotko

in german its eine hexe

Striga and strigoi aren't same thing?

Jutta Urpilainen

In basque: sorgin

There's also the Romanian one that is strange and uncommon: Vrăjitoare

Etimologie[modificare | modificare sursă]
termenul poate fi găsit în Europa începând ca. din anul 1000
provine din basme, povești asociat cu atribuții de canibalism, și puteri supranaturale
din biblie provine termenul de vrăjitorie și pepdepsirea celor ce o practică
acest termen a fost mai precis conturat în actele de condamnare a vrăjitorilor din evul mediu, care procese erau considerate ca o măsură de salvare a unui suflet păcătos.

care to translate? Very interested

Liked that :D
Strigoi doens't mean anything in Italian but in Romanian it's like some kind of Specter or Phantom

> Bruja
> comes from Old Norse "brugga", that is, "to brew"

SPAIN IS VISIGOTHIC

>Strega
I don't understand, I have a bottle of this in my kitchen. Why are they related?

How do you say "Wizard" in your language?

Mago in spanish

Velho

I got that but I was just asking myself if some language apart Romania use it too these days because all the others are way different than Vrăjitoare

it may be a pre-roman word from dacians.

for example, "perro" (dog in spanish) is unique because it came from iberian, and there are only a bunch of words that did so

Papież

volshebnik, koldun

>volshebnik

Trollkarl, magiker or besvärjare.

Huh?

"volshebnik" is similar to "bolshevik"

Not at all, if they're pronounced correctly.

Dayan or Chudail

This look like hindi words.

Ragana

Burvis

Bruxa

"Mago" or "stregone"
