How To Say The Word for Travel in several languages



UK flag


US flag

The English and American for travel are the same. But the British say holiday, whilst the Americans say vacation.

English - travel
Arabic - safar (like safari, also Bangla, Hindi, Urdu)
Catalan - viatge (spelling with a g like voyage, closer to the French than the Spanish)
Esperanto - vojaĝi
French - voyage

Hindi - safar (also Arabic, Bangla, Urdu)
Indonesian - perjalanan
Italian - viaggio
Malay- bepergian (to travel)
Norwegian - Reise
Portuguese (Brazil) - viagem



Spanish - viaje
Urdu - safar (also Arabic, Bangla, Hindi)

I tried the Chinese for I like to travel in Google translate. I could grasp wo for I.
