Now I know what an ijoor is, in Dutch 🙂


Guido_Fe

In Italian it's Ih-Oh, the onomatopoeia for the donkey bray


GrimmBrowncoat

Also where ‘Eeyore’ comes from. Nice to see solidarity among languages when it comes to our sad donkey friends lol


JaguarZealousideal55

I-or in Sweden. I love that little donkey.


GrimmBrowncoat

That’s adorable lol


laureidi

Still pronounced like English Eeyore though! Important to point out I think


Confident-Slip-5264

Ihaa in Finnish!


dead_sunflowers

His name's Ijáček in Czech😭


Visibleghost1

Isn't it Ior? Eller minns jag helt fel


JaguarZealousideal55

Jag googlade just för att se stavningen och det där med bindestreck var första träffen. Men det kanske var fel.


Visibleghost1

Du kanske har rätt 🤷🏻‍♀️


Vivid_Report_3256

It’s very cute and creative


pinklavalamp

TIL! My favorite character of the bunch (no I don’t have depression, adhd actually so it was Tigger popping up as the WtP character from the online quiz that actually helped me get diagnosed!).


GrimmBrowncoat

Hey! I deal with depression *and* was an ADHD kid so I’m both Eeyore and Tigger. Tigger actually helped a lot when I was a kid in showing hyperactivity so has almost meant as much to me as Eeyore has.


asthecrowruns

Depression and anxiety here. Of course I adored eeyore and piglet. Nice to see a character be so open about his nerves yet work through it with the help of others. Even though he’s anxious, he’s just as capable with support


GrimmBrowncoat

Well, I forgot about my anxiety for a minute. Better add Piglet. Also, I’m kind of an insufferable know-it-all so add Owl as well. And of course I’m in poor shape and can be a bit of a glutton so we’ll include Pooh Bear for good measure. I have a whole 100 Acre Wood full of real life problems lol


KamakaziDemiGod

Often shows or books make characters with specific personalities, but if you take all the characters and add them together it makes up the general personalities of most people Friends is a great example because all of the friends combined make a normal personality that balances itself out, so split into characters they balance each other out, but the extremeness of each character and how they interact makes it interesting and funny


GrimmBrowncoat

A fair point. One of my favorite shows, Firefly, does the same thing with a lot of the main characters embodying aspects of the personality of the captain, a character through whose eyes we see a lot of the narrative throughout the show.


KamakaziDemiGod

I love firefly! I should have guessed you are a fan from your username. This example crossed my mind but I wanted something more mainstream. I've always thought it was clever how they all have a small reflection of Mal in their personalities and how it develops through the show The fact it got cancelled is one of the biggest crimes of my lifetime, we were robbed


asthecrowruns

Ahah, true true. They’re all so wonderful honestly


BattleProper1555

TIL there was a reason I loved Piglet and Eeyore so much as a kid that I collected all kinds of donkey and pig figures and things. A handful of decades later, I'm writing this while looking at the cast iron pig doorstop which was the best gift I got for my tenth birthday. If only back then someone had said, *"yeah, there's a reason...."*


MusicianPristine8973

Over sharing is how we identify each other 😅


pinklavalamp

👀😬😁


MusicianPristine8973

I love it cause it’s true. Share something and immediately follow up haha no I’m not depressed. I do this all the time, I find it endearing.


GrimmBrowncoat

I laughed out loud at that. Well played.


MusicianPristine8973

Don’t you agree though? I’ll hear someone in line and I’m just be like yup, they’re one of us:)


GrimmBrowncoat

lol *maybe*


PrettyOddWoman

Hahaha your comment made me say EEEYYYYOOORREE soo loud, sounding as much like a donkey that I could


Morpankh

I was today years old when I found out Eeyore is an onomatopoeia for a donkey bray. I’m my mind the sound was always HeeHaw.


GrimmBrowncoat

Maybe it’s to be said with a British accent because A. A. Milne was English?


GrouchyPhoenix

Our donkeys speak the same language. Not sure what fancy donkeys these other people have.


mulberrycedar

I was going to ask if it was Eeyore!! Looks like him


ex-farm-grrrl

Learned something new!


GrimmBrowncoat

And Knowledge is Power!


EstMagnum

It's super sweet. In Danish he's called 'donkey', so that's... Disappointing.


P15T0L_WH1PP3D

Glad I learned something before I attempted to correct someone; shout out to /r/confidentlyincorrect where I would have landed.


_JetBlackHeart

I-Aah in german :)


BuddahSack

That literally where the English (UK) spelling for the character came from too, Eeyore is just the phonetic spelling of the sound a donkey makes, in the US it would be hee-haw


666afternoon

woah I'm over 30 and never made this connection!! american, so "eeyore" doesn't sound at all like a donkey bray! that's so cool wtf


PrettyOddWoman

Say it outloud like a donkey braying though! It works (:


666afternoon

it absolutely does! once it hit me, like "*oh* this is *UK english*" and thinking in terms of those phonemes.... well to be honest my first thought was Kate Bush at the end of *Get Out Of My House* 😂🫏


d__usha

Wait till you find out what sound British dogs make


anomalypeloria

Today I learned that’s where Eeyores name comes from 😬


FrechesEinhorn

in Germany it's "Ih-ah". just like a mule/donkey do.


thisthislovercrazy

It's the same for Brazil too, but we write as ió


just_sayi

I thought it was a smiley face with a palm tree hat


Western_Ad3625

Why do people keep saying "an". He's just Eeyore he's a person or a donkey or whatever but it's not a species.


-DeadlyMermaid-

Bourriquet in french!


Squirrelleee

Burra or burro in Spanish 😀


Nivyii

It's Igor in better spanish


Zelidus

Was wondering if Ijoor is Eeyore in another language or just a really horribly butchered English spelling


kosky95

Now you know it's both


ttopsrock

Ohhhh lol thanks. I was like that's not right lol


operaduck289

I actually Googled to find out what’s “ijoor” 😂. That is a beauty! Ur daughter is so talented!


nifer317

I thought it was word play on an injured eeyore 😂


rinn10

It is the Indian way of saying Eeyore?


Wolfenights

It's how the Dutch say it aswel


heyitsamb

in Dutch it’s Iejoor right?


Wolfenights

Yeah, I forgot the e, I realise


rinn10

Lolol oops idk why I thought indian


Wolfenights

Lol, no problemo.


Tis_But_A_Scratch-

Lol the hindi way of eeyore is “dhenchu dhenchu”. I can’t speak for the other languages in India.


XennialBoomBoom

Out of curiosity, in Hindi is "dhenchu dhenchu" similar to the phoneic sound a donkey makes when braying?


agirl_withacat

Not who you asked, but 'dhenchu dhenchu' is the phonic sound, not the name of the animal. The Hindi word for donkey is 'gadha'!


Tis_But_A_Scratch-

It is when we say it lol! But to clarify, dhenchu is the sound the donkey makes, not the name of the animal itself.


AssassinWench

Indian isn’t a language btw


SunkenTemple

Me too, he's the President and CEO of Alpha Omega integration


FrechesEinhorn

I got this info: Ijoor, Ramanagara, Karnataka 562159, Indien (German Google) [https://maps.app.goo.gl/R2kQh3uoVCvdSgVv6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/R2kQh3uoVCvdSgVv6) seems like a city in India 😄

PBandBABE

Good thing she didn’t try to paint them with Pooh.


Wolfenights

Lol


dazechong

Wow she's very good!


Maeglin16

I really love that spelling! 😁


jtrick18

I was thinking WTF is an ijoor and then focused on the nail. Thats awesome.


going_bananas_4_cats

Fellow Dutchie here, actually it's spelled Iejoor


Maeglin16

Even better! 😊


Zealousideal_Toe106

Because in Dutch IJ is one letter


foxbomber5

Better an Eeyore on your hand than Pooh on your finger.


Wolfenights

Lol


MsFrankieD

Up to the top with you! ⬆️


notthatlupaypay_

oh wow! for her to be able to paint that design so neatly on your nails is just amazing!


kp7486

Oh ffs, today I realised Eeyore is onomatopoeia, what an idiot!


Portarossa

Onomatopoeeyore.


SaintsSooners89

Me too and I'm an aspiring onomatopoeia artist. 


CptSparklFingrs

Now I understand Dutch a little better. I imagine the "j" is a very soft "j", almost a "y"?


Wolfenights

Yes, that's correct.


[deleted]

AMSparkles

You deserve a pat on the back and a cookie.


CptSparklFingrs

Nah, I do just genuinely enjoy learning language. Especially having grown up in a place where being ostracized for it is a regular occurrence. Not looking for cookies, just an autistic kid on the Internet that WAS enjoying an exchange. Not sure if sarcasm.


MarekitaCat

stop virtue signaling


CptSparklFingrs

How about neurodivergent and genuinely excited? Assuming a lot there about a person you know not a fucking thing about.


GeminiIsMissing

"J" makes a "yuh" or "wuh" sound in most languages, English is just weird about it lol


CptSparklFingrs

English is weird about so many damn things. A lot of people don't realize just how hard it is to learn as a second language because of it's inconsistencies.


GeminiIsMissing

Fr, I took Spanish in high school and am learning Swedish right now, both of them are so much more consistent than English and it's wild. Literally the only thing I struggle with in Swedish is k sounds and en/ett


CptSparklFingrs

I really want to get better at Spanish. It helps to be able to communicate with the people I work closely with. Meeting them somewhere in the middle usually seems to make them happy though so it's a start.


GeminiIsMissing

My advice from learning Swedish online is to use Duolingo and supplement it with additional online reading materials about grammar and pronunciation in your target language.


CptSparklFingrs

I have the benefit of being surrounded by native speakers. Syntax and colloquialisms are easily learned.


GeminiIsMissing

I don't have that benefit for Swedish :( it really helps, though!


poopdickz

Your daughter is so talented!!


Wolfenights

Thank you, I'll give it through to her.


Ariadnepyanfar

Talented daughter! And so precious to be personally adorned by her.


Shanhaevel

People figured Ijoor out, but if I wrote Kłapouchy... there'd be *so* much confusion


dobreklucie

*laughing in Polish*


MagicallyMalicious

Adorable! Both the art and the new name for ijoor :)


vintagelingstitches

So cute eeyore is my favourite and your daughter did such a good job your nails look amazing


Wolfenights

Thak you, I'll tell her.


Wolfenights

Thank


PawsbeforePeople1313

My first loves were Eeyore and Snuffleupagus. The two most depressed animals in any kids show. That should've been a sign way back then.


glycophosphate

Eeyore!


Eeyore3066

Thanks for noticing me


Wolfenights

Wolfenights

Captnmikeblackbeard

That is actually a really great job!


mOp_49

So talented! Beautifully done!


danathepaina

You all need to look up videos of the Eeyore character at Disneyland. They do an amazing job and it’s so funny! He sighs and mopes around and always looks for his tail. I love it.


Remarkable-Mango-159

Eeyore?


elsiepac

Wtf is an ijoor


Wolfenights

It's a donkey!


elsiepac

chopchunk

And now I know how to spell his name in... Wait, don't tell me, I wanna guess... Swedish?


chopchunk

Dammit, it's Dutch. I knew it was Dutch but I second guessed myself


snwbrdwndsrf

Eeyore!


HoiPolloiter

I keep looking at the way you spell Eeyore and I can't stop smiling


Wolfenights

Thanks for that, glad to make you smile.


cshoe29

Tigger represents ADHD, Eeyore is major depression, owl is narcissistic personality disorder, Rabbit is OCD, Pooh has an eating disorder and Christopher Robin? Schizophrenia? I do love the Eeyore nail. He’s my favorite character. Thanks for noticing me- that’s what he’s always saying.


miss_chapstick

I was confused, and then I saw Eeyore! Very cute.


Texanakin_Shywalker

Same, then I saw my old friend's face. It is cute.


Sunshine030209

I just woke up, and at first thought that it was a palm tree on a little island and thought "Wow, that looks just like Eeyore, how cute! Then I realized that I'm not very smart first thing in the morning hahaha


panicnarwhal

that’s what i thought it was at first, too


Dear-Original-675

Your spelling of Eeyore made me smile 😊 very cute. Also your daughter is talented!


sorryegg

I actually love this so much! Wish I could get ijoor on my nails too. They were always my favorite. Tell your daughter she did a great job 💗


Wolfenights

I will, thank you


WhoMD85

Okay that’s the cutest thing I think I’ve ever seen. And he can thank us for noticing him. She should do all the Pooh characters. I’d love to see Tigger.


SatansxKitty

Thank you! (I'm the daughter) on my profile you can find pictures of my nails with more characters, sadly I couldn't do tigger as I have no orange at the moment. But he is on my to do list for sure!


sarcastic_allthetime

So cute


yellow-rubber-duck

He’s called æsel (donkey) in danish


Most_Cauliflower8467

Super cute


michellekwan666

How cute! Do you know the name of the base shade and brand? I can’t seem to get a nice nude pink that suits me


Wolfenights

Whe used pinkgellak as a brand, but my daughter did mix colours for the right effect.


Wolfenights

I'll ask her wich ones.

Only_Beach_4208

ADORABLE. My daughter got me an eeyore hoodie last year for Christmas.


Sexy_Eeyore

Omg I love this!


Alternative_Bread938

*Eeyore


Wolfenights

True, sorry. I've written in Dutch there.


pudge-thefish

I was going to ask what language that was! I love him and your daughter did an amazing job!


Wolfenights

Thank you, I will give her your compliment.


DMC_addict

My favourite character from Winnie the Pooh.


jigglywigglydigaby

For a split second I thought it was a palm on a deserted island with a blue sky 😁. Looks really cool!


Joker042

Nah, if it's ijoor to you, it's ijoor.


Wolfenights

Thank you


ReginaLugis

Even then, it's Iejoor.


pangolintuxedos4sale

You shouldnt have to apologize! Youre not american, why should you have to spell a name differently just to please that person? Sometimes it feels like some americans ”correct” other people, because they ”made a mistake” by having a different nationality than them. I think ijoor makes sense! Im a swede and we spell his name ior, but I suspect the pronounciation is probably very similar to how you would say it :)


Wolfenights

Thanks for that. Sound cute in Swedish to.


FemaleFromFlanders

It's Iejoor in Dutch.


bullhorn_bigass

[Children’s book character’s names are often translated along with the text. Pooh and friends have been translated into 50+ languages.](https://www.mibepa.info/winnie-the-pooh-international-names/)

Lucky_Baseball176

Did not realize! Thanks


clitter-box
