((It took me too long to realize that "tamagotchi" is tamago (egg) + tomodachi (friend) 😭
((OMG. Now I know, too!))
((Actually it's from Tamago (egg) and Uotchi (watch), but the tomodachi thing is definitely a bonus I imagine. ))
((I imagine the word altogether was meant to sound like tomodachi at the least. ((The word I was given for watch/clock I believe was tokei? Or maybe I'm thinking of Spanish with them being interchangeable.
((Oh nvm uotchi is a loanword so maybe it's both depending.
((There's multiple words. Uotchi is borrowing from English, rather than being like the proper Japanese word for it))
