Great quiz. Sessel in German means armchair, the word for a regular chair would be Stuhl

In German, food is usually Essen, Lebensmittel is more specific and means groceries. If you want a replacement that’s less similar to the Dutch, I can suggest the Czech for food, which is ‘jídlo?’

Changed it to Essen, thanks. No problem with them being similar... gives a hint. I've tried to use words that people might know or be able to work out.

Uh… I somehow aced this from context clues and very limited knowledge of a couple languages beyond English. This must be a very well made quiz if a monolingual person like me could be successful!

Stol is specifically a table in many Slavic languages including Russian, Polish, and similar variants can be found in like Serbian as well. Please pick a different example for that one.

Changed it to the Dutch “stoel”. Hopefully that’s ok. I can’t account for every similar variant as languages are related and false friends abound. As long as it isn’t specifically a different word in another major language. Thanks

13/15! I knew mir was peace and associated pace with peace as well but I forgot salam meant peace. I am Turkish and we use selam as a greeting so it didn't occur to me. I feel embarrassed that I picked krieg for that one 😅😅😅

This should be a series, it was so fun!

So the Arabs, Italians and Russians all say Peace but the Germans say War? Sound familiar :D

Well not that the Arabs, Italians or Russians are all peaceful, but still
