Sidewalk is more descriptive although footpath is a literal translation of our "marciapiede"
>>
>>222908521
The finnish word translates to footpassage.or footpath.
Now that I think of it, sidewalk sounds retarded. Like something a toddler would come up with.

sidewalk or pavement. now that you ask me about this idrk what to say. pavement sounds better tbhdesu
>>
>>222908521
"Footpath"?? That can't be real. Sounds like walking through a forest. The sidewalk is where you walk at the side of the road.
>>
rename it foodpath and suddenly Americans are gonna be a lot more interested

>>222908521
walkway, why would you call it anything else?..
Gehweg makes sense.

it makes perfect sense. it's a way you walk on.
footpath makes sense too.

Americans only say sidewalk cause it's an afterthought for you.
German has an other term for it, "Bürgersteig": Citizens path.

Germany is the Muslim man's pocket bussy.

Paths are in forests. Sidewalks are on streets.

British English is so elegant...
>>
just call it path?
>>
>>222908521
It's a path if its going off into a development or forested area in a different direction than the road. It's a sidewalk if it's part of the roads curb area.
>>
>>222908521
>>222910506
It's a pavement if it's next to a road, a footpath is a bit different, though I suppose a pavement is still a footpath.
>>
>>222908561
A sidewalk specifically means the place people wall to the side of the road. I think most people would call it a path or walkway, maybe a footpath, if it was actually next to a road here.
>>
>>222908521
A sidewalk implies it has to be on the side but that's not always the case. I find footpath to be more in line with the actual purpose of it.
>>
>>222908521
Trottoir, thank you.

Sidewalk, fuck the ugly brits

We call it gutter

>>222908521
They actually call it a footpath? Why don't they just sodomize each other in public at that point? It's basically the same thing.
>>
>>222915657
What a stupid word
>>
>>222908521
We call it a walkpath or walkment or something if I had to guess how it would translate into English
>>222908677
It's the side off the road you walk on

Trottoar in Swedish, as the regular word. Out-Frenching English.
>>
>>222908561
A sidewalk is a type of footpath. If it's not on the side of a road, then it would just be a footpath.

That's how it was a hundred years ago. Then car industry lobbied and advertised like hell and "jaywalking" became a thing.

Trails are for long hikes. Paths are usually shortcuts or made by animals.

footpath = gives equal importance the the road.

sidewalk = gives lower importance compared to the road.

word choice shows the usa is a car culture first.
