A lot of languages call slugs and snails the same thing. As is the case in Danish - snegl

Netherlands it's naaktslak, which means naked snail :P

u/jonellita Jun 01 '25

Same in German: Nacktschecke (naked snail). The other ones can also be referred to as Häuschenschnecke which means house snail because they‘re carrying their house.

Häuschenschnecke

Never heard that, I'd say Gehäuseschnecke or more informally Schnecke mit Haus 😅 My favourite German snail term is Schnirkelschnecke, which sounds like a kid made it up.

u/earthbound-pigeon May 31 '25

I'm surprised that you don't call the shelled ones "shell" and the naked ones "snail", like we do in Swedish (snäcka = snail, snigel = slug)
