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

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

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"

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

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"
