In Chinese, we call kittens and puppies "little cats" and "little dogs"

> Inb4 "lunch"and "dinner"
>>
young dog = Welpe
young horse = Fohlen
young cow = Kalb
young chicken = Küken
etc

but strangely no equivalent for cats, I wonder why that is.
>>

>>71326392
Yes for some - on the top of my head:
Horse = Cheval -> poulain
Duck = canard -> caneton
Dog = chien -> chiot
Cat = chat -> chatton
Bird = oiseau -> poussin
Boar = sanglier -> marcassin
etc
>>
Is there any that doesn't? I bet only these cunts where they eat pussies and puppies and regret nothing.
>>
>>71326392
baby boar=uribou (oriental melon)
>>
>>71326883
What's the spanish for puppy? I don't mean just using diminutive.
>>
>>71327130
cachorro

>>71326458
same in Jap.
neko(cat) -> koneko(kitten)
inu(dog) -> koinu(puppy)
usagi(rabbit) -> kousagi (leveret)

exceptions are
>>71327097
niwatori(chicken) -> hiyoko(chick)
tombo(dragonfly) -> yago(dragonfly lava)
etc
>>
>>71327155
How is that separate from dog?
>>
sometimes the word for one baby animal is the same for another animal

baby whale: calf
baby cow: calf
baby elephant: calf
baby bison, elk, giraffe, hippo, moose, ox, reindeer, rhinoceros, yak, and gnu: calf
>>
>>71327263
A grown dog isn't called that, at least not by dictionaries and the RAE
>>
>>71327843
Oh, it's perro, right?
Shiet, I'm the only one without a different word for the two.
>>
>>71327412
Only relevant animals have distinct names for their babies-

relevant animals:

>dog
>cat
>bird
>snek
>fish

no-animals:

>everything else

Yeah, and even if a given animal has no separate word for babies you can always create diminutives out of any word, even out of other diminutives.
kot -> kotek -> kocię -> kociątko -> kociąteczko -> kociątunio

>young dog = Welpe

In English 'Whelp' literally means a puppy but can also be applied pejoratively to a young man
>>
>>71327865
cão
>>
>>71326392
Esperanto has the -ido suffix, which means "offspring".

Hundo = Dog
Hundido = Puppy
Kato = Cat
Katido = Kitten
Ĉevalo = Horse
Ĉevalido = Foal
>>
>>71331216
Cão and cachorro both mean adult dog.
Cão just means a male dog while cadela means female.
>>
>>71326392

Yes. In Cree Nehiyawêwin we add the suffix "-sis" to make a noun into a diminutive

Dog=Atim
Puppy=Acimosis

Cat=Minôs
Kitten=Minôsis

Rabbit=Wâpos
Young or Small rabbit=wâposis
(Bunny is "wâposos". We distinguish between the two)

Horse=Mistatim
Pony=Miscacimosis

Yeah, you get the idea; just add -sis at the end of a noun to make it "smaller" or "younger"
Oh yeah, all nouns end in a consonant in Cree.

>>71332262
This, I've never heard anyone calling schenki "kutionki". Lmao
>>
pichu
pikachu
raichu
>>
Not really, you just slap the word 'pentu' on it
Kissanpentu - kitten
Koiranpentu - puppy
Karhunpentu - bear cub
There are some exceptions, like varsa (foal) and vasikka (calf), tipu (chick) etc but it's mostly farm animals.
>>
>>71332416
>Eaglet

When will they learn?
>>
>>71326392
Just add "anak" (child) to that animals and it's their younger version.

>anak ayam = chicks of hen
>anak kuda = ponies
>anak beruang = bear's cub
>anak harimau = tiger's cub
And so on
>>
>>71326392
doggy = psiček, kužek
kitty = mucka, mačkica
birdy = ptiček
fishy = ribica
piggy = prašiček

>>71328662
>>71332262
>kot, sobaka

*shakes head slowly*
>>
Yes, our language is massively fucked too so we also have different names for males and females

Cat: Mačka (Female cat), Mačor (Male cat) Mače (Kitten)

Sheep: Ovca (Female), Ovan (Male), Jagnje (Small sheep)

Chicken: Kokoška (Female), Petao (Male), Pile (Small chicken)

Try pronouncing these names.
>>
Chicken = kuře
Puppy = štěně
Kitten = kotě

>>71332953
Calling schenki "kutionki" is even more of a bullshit iibph (if I'm being perfectly honest) fām
>>
>>71332995
No one calls puppies "kutionki", you dummy. The correct plural form of "kutionok" is "kutiata", learn some grammar already
>>
>>71333103
The fuck are you on?
>>
>>71333103
No one is calling puppies "kutiata" either!
>>
>>71333167
Just because you've never heard this word does not mean no one uses it. If you tried to google it before writing this non-sense, you'd know that.
>>

>Dog
Kutya -> kiskutya, kölyök(kutya)
>Cat
Macska -> (kis)cica
>Chicken
Csirke -> (kis)csibe, fióka
>Other birds
Madár -> fióka
>Pig
Disznó, sertés -> (kis)malac
>Deer
Őz -> őzgida
>Horse
Ló -> (kis)csikó
>Cow
Tehén -> borjú
>Sheep
Juh -> bárány
