corgi is the Portuguese word for corgi.
Meaning: ellipsis of Welsh corgi (noun)
Did you know?
- In Brazil, pet owners often use the diminutive suffix to create the word corgizinho, adding an emotional layer of affection that 'small corgi' lacks in English.
- While corgi is the standard name, some Portuguese speakers might call them cães-pastores-galeses to specify they are Welsh shepherd dogs.
- When talking about the breed's short legs in Portuguese, speakers often use the word baixo, which means 'low' or 'short' in height, rather than just 'small'.
