I was watching an arts& crafts youtuber and she said she never made friendship bracelets because she didn't have any friends to give them to.

I didn't have many friends as a kid, but just made bracelets for myself and occasionally family. I'm french and here we call them "Brazilian bracelets", so it never even crossed my mind that they were supposed to symbolize friendship.

What are they called in your language ?

In Japan we call it 組み紐ブレスレット, or Kumihimo buresuretto, because Kumihimo is a traditional braiding technique and buresuretto is a bracelet obviously haha 👍

@Ni-Ki that’s awesome most people in America don’t know a different language. I wish to learn more about different cultures! It’s cool you know both languages. I took Japanese in high school but I didn’t really keep up with it afterwards 😢

Oh thank you! So few people in Japan learn a second language since Japanese itself is so hard, but I think learning a language is very useful so I am learning English.

You guys are right :]. Learning new languages is always so cool and useful ᯓ★ (and fun too lol)

Here in Ukraine, we mostly call them «фенічки». There isn’t a literal translation (it’s a colloquial term), but some theorise that it *might* have been derived from the English word “thing” or “thingy”. You can also call them «браслети дружби» “bracelets of friendship”, though this term is less common and more formal. Some people still prefer it, especially in certain contexts! ദ്ദി´ ˘ `)✧

Well, in Russia the same as in Ukraine: «фенечки» or “браслеты дружбы», the first one is more usual

Btw although it's written the same in Ukrainian and Russian, the pronunciation differs a bit: in Ukrainian it sounds like [fenechka], in Russian it's more like [fienichka]

In Hungary:
barátság karkötő (friendship bracelet)
or
indián fonat (Indian braid)

Although the second name is not really correct, since these creations do not need to be woven...
