Sounds like a Portuguese creole or a language similar to Portuguese, is it? :)

It’s nice that you credit who asked the original question, but you could just cross post their original post

Käse (Germany)

I wonder what it's called in Austria

[–] domi@lemmy.secnd.me 5 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Depending on where in Austria:

Kas, Käs or Kaas

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 12 points 21 hours ago

Probably something like topfenschnarkel.

Fromage - French (with other informal words such as "fromton" or "claquos")

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Omelette du fromage.

The only French I know, thanks to Dexter's Laboratory.

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 19 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

It's also incorrect! The dish is omelette au fromage. That's because it's an omelette with cheese and not of cheese.

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 13 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

That's because it's an omelette with cheese and not of cheese

These are Americans we're talking about. Maybe it is an omelette of cheese?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

ngl it's about half and half whenever I make one. 🖐️🫣

Disclaimer: not American, I just like cheese.

[–] Courantdair@jlai.lu 2 points 15 hours ago

Even if it was omelette of cheese it would be "omelette de fromage"

Claquos ?! Je le connaissais pas celui là. Je vais le réutiliser au prochain repas de famille ;)

[–] Takapapatapaka@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

J'ai voulu vérifier l'orthographe, et autant c'est bon, autant a priori c'est spécifiquement le camembert, en tout cas d'après le wiktionnaire. Perso je l'utilise pour tous les fromages, mais y'a peut-être des puristes de l'argot qui m'y reprendraient.

[–] TinyLittlePuni@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

Cheese and τυρί

[–] Penguin_1024@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 day ago

Queso - Spanish

Cheese - English

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Queijo (pronounced 'keijo')

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

That is not how you pronounce Keijo. (I'm just teasing, as it's a Finnish name and you're just estimating a pronunciation. We should all learn to use the IPA I think.)

Kummeli Jackpot — Keijoa huijataan

We call it "juusto" pronounced yuuh-sto

[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 7 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Caws 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

(Actually I'm English so that's not my language, I just happened to know that one in Welsh)

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 1 points 49 minutes ago

Put the caws in the popty ping.

Sajt. Funny enough sajt is my default test word eg.: is google working let me search for sajt

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

For the non-native: that 'S' is pronounced 'sh' and 'j' is pronounced 'y'. It almost sounds like shite.
