Terminal in swedish is slutstation

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Is it? Unless terminal is another word for final station.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, terminal means "end" or similar. Eg. "Terminal cancer", "the airport terminal" etc. same root word as"terminate"

And are termites the "enders"?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

No, the "sluts".

Computer terminal is literally called a terminal because it's the thing on the user side end of the long long wire that starts from the big big computer.

One of those things that make a lot more sense if you think hard of the history.

Terminal is terminal. You mean a terminus; slutstation is an endstation, not just any terminal.

[–] AI_toothbrush 1 points 1 month ago

Ahh endstation i just didnt know that was in english. I only knew the swedish and hungarian words for it.

Time for me to go to the terminal.
