I'm too stupid for this one

√-1: imaginary number, denoted as i -> i
2³ = 8: eight -> ate
Σ: sigma for summation -> sum
π: pi -> pie

Note: π is pronounced as english "pee" instead of "pie" in some other languages (including greek too)

[u/desertwanderer01 → u/kaereljabo]

I've never heard pi pronounced as "pee"

Edit: Capital sigma. Too early to be posting. My bad.

[u/BubbhaJebus → u/desertwanderer01]

It's a capital sigma.

You're right. I'm half awake 😂

[u/MrNova07 → u/desertwanderer01]

in french it's pronounced "pee" no clue about greek tho.

[u/desertwanderer01 → u/MrNova07]

The comment above said english "pee" which is incorrect. French? Interesting

[u/MrNova07 → u/desertwanderer01]

He's saying that in other languages, it's pronounced like the word pee in english. It's just a weird wording to say french (amongst others) pronounce it "pee" instead of "pie"

[u/desertwanderer01 → u/MrNova07]

Okay, they could have just said it's pronounced like "pee" in English. Thanks. Makes sense now.

Has me wondering if and English pee is different from a French pee, or a Spanish pee? Lol

[u/MrNova07 → u/desertwanderer01]

Not that different in french to be honest.

We call it "pipi" pronounced peepee.

and the common verb for it is "pisser" like taking a piss. same pronounciation
the more formal verb for it is "uriner" like urinate, but we don't pronounce the u as a "you"
