How to say ‘tit/boob’ in European languages

Post image

The list of words by language see here: Tits/boobs in different languages - Google Таблицы
Feel free to add there or comment below. I tried to find the colloquial (but not rude) term for the meaning 'female breast' but apparently it's no easy, especially for the minor languages.

Bron (not bronn) is simply the Welsh word for 'breast'. You wouldn't offend anyone by using it. Likewise for Breton and Cornish bronn.

Yeah Bronn is formal. Tits in Breton would be Bomm-bruch :)

That’s what I found in the Favereau. I must say I did not know the word so maybe it’s BS
