- pjerem 5y agoIn France we call the fountain pen Stylo Plume. Which literally stands for Feather Pen. And the part from which the ink flow is called the plume (feather).
- kergonath 5y agoIn this context, “plume” would probably be translated to “quill” rather than “feather” (or “nib”, for the metal bit that touches the paper). It’s ambiguous in French, because if is the same word for the bird thing and the writing instrument.
- edu 5y agoSame in Spanish with “pluma” for the writing tool and the bird-thing.
