natively, cheese and queso

also, queijo in my third language, and formaggio, fromage, ser, сыр, and queixo (not fluent)

then, in the languages i wanna know more of: チーズ、奶酪/起司，جبنة

Finnish? I had something called leipa juusto in Finland and it was a very interesting experience

Yes. Leipäjuusto (literally bread cheese) is like the only uniquely Finnish type of cheese that I can think of. Very mild and very squeaky

Also, to any anglophones reading, the j is pronounced like y, so it'd sound like "yuusto" to your ears

You know they make lactase pills and it's like ten cents for all the dairy you can stomach right

my parents’ language, we say 奶酪 or جبنة

growing up, from others it’d be ser or queso.

in my Grandpa’s language would say: גבינה but he also spoke arabic

(i only know a little Chinese and Arabic. i can write a little in Chinese but can’t write in Arabic at all.)
