[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 point 3 months ago (1 child) There are not doctors in Germany either. Not were there any academics in the whole of Russia. They're called arzt. or Doktor. That's not helpful, though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago That's not a good analogy though. Cosmonaut isn't just a translated term of astronaut. It's different on purpose. Just a PhD is specifically different from MD, even though both are doctors. No their jobs aren't as different, but it's very much a definite prescriptive difference, one are people who went to space from the USSR/Russia, astronauts are American/European and Chinese spacefarers are taikonauts. permalink fedilink source parent
