What's in a Prague street name

Originally published on 10 June 2022.

Pod Lipami was built in 1925.

Continuing yesterday’s tree theme (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2022/11/20/prague-3-day-47-osikova/), ‘Pod lipami’ translates as ‘under the linden trees’.

Which makes this Prague’s answer to Berlin’s famous ‘Unter den Linden’ (except it doesn’t).

If we’re talking about lindens in different languages, the Romanian for ‘linden’ is tei, and ‘love under the linden tree’ in Romanian is dragostea din tei.

Ma-i-a hi.

Ma-i-a hu.

Ma-i-a ho.

Ma-i-a ha-ha.

And sorry for ruining your Friday.
