Indeed we don't have a native word for toilet, the history behind it is that taking a shit was considered very dishonor and a shameful display during samurai period, and people hesitated to mention the place they do it. It was often said in the same manner they do with Voldemort in Harry Potter. Only after the modernization did we adopt the word toire (toilet) instead of traditional 'You-Know-Where'.

>>71987856
"厠"(KAWAYA) is yamato word
KAWAYA is a word used before Kanji is transmitted.
When Kanji was transmitted, it was combined with a character having the same meaning, but I did not adopt pronunciation from Chinese.

Perhaps it is the same reason that your ancestors stole the letters from the Romans.
>>
>>71988356
they don't like to talk of the thing but about the thing, although most words do differ in the thing in refers to

>>71989413
Also 'sralnik' or 'ochko' then (vulgar).
'Ubornaya'.
>>
>>71989386

>>71988252
It is made up of two words, shauch and alay, which literally mean 'shitting' and 'place'.

>>71989425
Then again, we come to the thread beginning.
>there is no native word for "toilet" in Japanese
Only chinese.
>>
>>71989465
That's nice joke brother
>>
>>71989446
Oчкo is butthole, Убopнaя is literal translation of Toilet.
>>
>>71989478
Thank you.
You are not brother of mine, black-arsed bedbug, desu.
>>
>>71989544
Bedbugs are pretty nasty, good thing I don't live in a poor and dirty country like russia so I don't see them around too often
>>
>>71989616
Stop lying, Keiji. Bedbugs love warm and humid shitholes like Brasil and Japan, they simply can't survive Russian 6 month winters tho.
>>
>>71989516
Oчкo is ambiguous.

It can mean toilet or WC in certain areas, not just the butthole.

E.g. a common vulgar phrase "дpaить oчкo" refers specifically to that meaning.

This connotation exists due to the fact that the word was used to refer to any kind a narrow hole.

Wikipedia has a multiple choice redirection for "oчкo", among which there is "тyaлeт" (toilet).
