   @ranjit Dutch “vraag” and German “Frage” feel like they come from something else entirely.

     the etymology of the word "question" is opaque to me in every language i happen to know it in:

     question (en.)
     question (fr.)
     pregunta (es)
     sporgsmål (da) (this one looks like i could figure it out if i knew more than a tiny bit of danish)

     yeah i know i could look them up, i just like when it's obvious
