    The translations are in the post, it’s the same word origin. Weak or disabled can also refer to the brain. Its just an adjective.

      I understand that but my language isn’t romanic just the thing that these words are similar is strange and kinda funny to me.

        It’s probably not a coincidence. There are tons of words in every language that stem from latin one way or another even in russian. Languages can have tons of different influences over the thousands of years they developed and even today they are changing.

          Lithuanian doesn’t stem from Latin, though. Their language just hasn’t really changed in the last 5000 years or more. Latin is its sister language, though. Lithuanian and Latin basically have the same mother, which is why their grammars and.vocabularies share a lot of features.

          Because of having changed so little, Lithuanian also shares several words with Sanskrit (for example: wolf, bread, god, I am, you are) Also, Latvian derived from Lithuanian around year 700, and the current Hindi word for door is about the same as in Latvian. The Lithuanian word has changed a little from back then and doesn’t sound so similar any more. (Durvīs/Darvāže/Durys)
