Splatnosti - Czech for Maturity.

Podpis = Polish for Signature.

Please, someone, tell me some English words are just as entertaining in other languages?

Oh yes

"Mist" for example is the German word for "manure"

"Foot" is a German (possibly regional?) slang term for "vagina" (which is probably why our female English teacher in Germany tried to teach it as "foooooot", until I corrected her...)

"Vixen" sounds just like the German for "wanking"


Those are just a couple I can think of off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are plenty more, and then there are, no doubt, dozens of English words that just sound funny.
