Not like this in Persian! Seperate is jodaa in Persian (جدا), and touch can be translated to tamaas (تماس).

Flytrap ,

Nor do they touch when saying “together.”

Hyphenated. Non-hypenated. The irony.

Now it’d be cool if Vsauce spawns here explaining how you can’t truly touch something.

ThatGuyFromWork ,

Hey Vsauce, Michael here. What does it mean to be touched by something? In 1890, a poet named Rene Bomier said that to touch is to feel the world around you. But what if the world touched you back?

The meaning of words has nothing to do with how they’re formed. Big brain.

It’s almost like showerthoughts aren’t always as profound as they seem. Almost.

But I can touch your lips while saying 🤫"touch"🤫

Elkaki123 ,

This reminds me of an expression in Spanish

“Todo junto se escribe separado y separado se escribe todo junto”

Which I just discovered is the same on English lol :

“All together is written separately and separately is written all together”

Seems it depends on context.

How can touch be real if our lips don’t touch when we say it?

In french, “ça touche pas ça touche, ça touche ça touche pas” is a common riddle. You ask the person to guess what “it” is in “‘it doesn’t touch’ touches, ‘it touches’ doesn’t” (of course this doesn’t work in English but it does in french due to the usage of ‘pas’ for ‘doesn’t’). They may then ask you if various things touch or not. The game may go on for several hours as the guesser tries to guess objects, animals, concepts before they get that it is about whether or not your lips touch.

A common occurence is the guesser gives up, and whatever phrase they use to indicate that is just interpreted as another guess by the riddler: “I give up! -‘I give up’ touches.”

SailingG ,

Same in spanish with “tocar” and “separar”

parpol ,

letters B, M, P require you use your lips to make the sound. anything else is another part of your mouth.

dreadedsemi ,

Because you should touch with your fingers first before your mouth and when we separate we shut our lips …
