I know that we have members from all over the world, so I asked myself, what does pantyhose in your language mean? I will start it off: In Russian pantyhose means: kolgotki in kyrillic wich is the written language of Mother Russia, it looks like this: колготки

So, let me know which words you use in your language!

And thanks to all of you making this place a nice place full of tolerance & love to pantyhose :-)

Kisses,

Michelle

In Poland pantyhose means rajstopy

interesteing. any more translations ???

Tights

Tights come from the word tight..

Pantyhose is the propper word realy..

the yanks use pantyhose and the brits use tights....both are the same thing and not what the yanks think

the yanks think pantyhose are sheer nylon and tights are thicker...thats wrong...

tights and pantyhose means the same thing

interesting... I wasn't aware of that....

In Germany they are called: Strumpfhose

what you mean THEY...are you german ?

Strumpfhose is also a splitt word

Strumpf = socks
hose= trousers

socktrousers..hehe

german word is spellt strumpfhose,but said strumpfhoser

In Canada we call them pantyhose,

In America,We call Them,"Pantyhose" as for the sheer and support types .....And We call,"Tights" as for the brands that are thicker and more opaque/no see-thru brands......Different Continent,Different Meanings than The UK.

And on a further note,Why do you call Us,"Yanks" and We call you,"Foreginers"..??!!??......

If you open a can of worms,you better have a big bowl to cook them in....Comments go both ways.

Enjoy You Meal Mr. Evil...

LP..... ....

Its funny how European-derived cultures call us "Yanks" when the term Yanky actually refers to "Southern" countrymen during the time of the revolution. Do they not understand that they are calling the WHOLE nation; Southern, ignorant, inbred, white-trash, racist, rednecks?

I personally believe that is an insult created by ignorant fools who dont know history.

But anyway, here is my addition. Japanese(Romangi) = English

pantei = Panties
Sutokkingu = Stocking
pantei-sutokkingu = Pantyhose
Taitsu = Tights
Naironsutokkingu = Nylon Stockings
No-Ransutokkingu = No-Run Stockings
