5 car parts derived from French
1. Dereksyon
Egyptians call the steering wheel "dereksyoon" which is actually "direction" in French which means direction. But Egyptians think it's just another regular Arabic word. Why? No idea.
2. Kaboot
Egyptians call the car's hood "kaboot" which was originally the French word "capot" which means a car hood. Major face palm moment happening.
3. Fetees
if you even drove manual cars, you would probably know the manual transmission, which is that stick that enables the driver to choose between different gears. Egyptians call that stick “fetees” which is derived from the French word “Vitesse” which means speed.
4. Radiateer
That's what Egyptians call the car's radiator, a word that was originally the French "radiateur".
5. Shaseh
Egyptians call the car's frame "shaseh" from the French word "chassis" which means frame.
