That's really interesting, what language is that if you don't mind me asking?

Polish, but I think all Slavic languages are similar.

BTW this is why "decadent west" work so well in Russian propaganda. "Zapad" is west but also "sunset" or literally "falling [sun]".

Thanks! That's a really cool fact to start my Friday.

East means dawn and west means evening.

The word Sun is related to South. North to night.

That could be inconvenient in Australia no?

No doubt. But we cope with September, October and December not being the 7th, 8th, and 10th months respectively. If it was your regular language, you would probably hardly notice.

If you didn't knew that north-south is inverted vs the sun in southern hemisphere and tried to navigate based on the intuitive rules - yes.

Otherwise not really.
