If you’re saying “Food a food”, then a closer pairing would be “beverage a beverage”
You drink a drink and you eat an eat. Like in the show Good Eats.
Do I need to watch the show or can I show the show and watch the watch?
You can show the show, watch the watch, show the watch, and watch the show! Its a world of possibilities out there for showing and watching…
Is this dog snoop or is this snoop dog?
In arabic they say to food food.
In norwegian we say to butter butter.
I think the word drink was originally only an action, until someone started to refer to all drinkable items as “drinks” and the language adapted.
A similar thing is happening now, as people call things that can be eaten, “eats”. So you can " eat an eat"
You can snack on a snack.
You can quaff a drink instead.
Fuckin dronk that drink!! DO IT!!
Slurp, gulp, guzzle, pound. All the good things
Pathetic. In german(y) you can essen Essen in Essen.
But you can’t getränk Getränke
But you can “trinken Trinken” but sadly there is no city called Trinken afaik
Tis a silly place
Once I heard the following from two Russian colleagues at works:
- Пить есть, есть нету?
- Есть есть, пить нету.For more than a decade, I’ve been learning the language, for the art and jobs mainly, but that was quite hard to realize at the times…
But you can feed food.
Breakfast for breakfast. Lunch with lunch. Dine on dinner.
Etymology is actually interesting if you really want to know answers like this (well, sort of answers anyhow).
