      I feel like there could be Italians having the same conversation in reverse saying “Mi piace Moon”. To most Latin languages Luna is as boring and generic as Moon.

      It should be a name that the whole world could use instead of the basic word they use for a natural satellite because that was just the name for the Moon in their language.

        I didn’t know I was a writer, muchas gracias OP

        Moon is for unbased germanic languages like yours, no offense. Bar bar bar.

        It’s luna in latin, selene in Greek and I think Arabs call it qmar.
