In Lithuanian the thing in the picture is "sausainis", part of the word comes from the word "sausas", which means "dry".

There is also a word "biskvitas", but it refers to a type of cake.

I'm not bilingual, but I feel like Is should have been. Considering I'm half Mexican IRL, and I've been told there was a moment where I was actually pretty close to speaking it fluently when I was super young. I've taken a few classes in many languages, but none of them stuck. French was the only one that came closest to sticking. I think I am probably better than I give myself credit for, but nowhere near lingual.

Not to mention, all the anime and tokusatsu I watch has really helped me learn some Japanese. I know, I know, not the right way to learn. But it's still a form of learning!

I guess we would say "Biskwi" while still writing it "biscuit"

I speak French and we also call them biscuits... We use the same word for biscuits and cookies.

Don't know if it's been said yet, but "biscuit" in Portuguese is usually "bolacha". But we can also say "biscoito", but that is more of a Brazilian Portuguese word honestly.

Biscuit in Icelandic is 'Kex'.
