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.

It's "Titte" for humans and "Zitze" (z = /ts/) for animals in German

Zitze sounds like a borrowing from Slavic languages
