Don’t you just love etymology? The more you learn, the more you realize just how plain weird language actually is 😀

There there hahahaha I thought this only worked in Uganda. Brings me to one of the most common Italian phrases that don’t make literal sense to me: “così così” which literally translates to “so so”,andddddd just like “there there”, it is used to mean “not good not bad”.
