“faire la lessive” in French.

And I suspect the 세탁 in Korean is 洗濯? (I would have expected the first to be “sen” rather than “sey”, but EDICT says that it can be either “se” or “seon” in Korean, so... Also fun that “sentaku” in Japanese can be either “laundry” or “selection”.)

Also, “洗衣服” being read “lǐfà” is, er, unexpected.

One of these days I'll learn never to post anything half done. I didn't have time to do more than drop in the Korean and Chinese before I left the house today. (At least I found the Welsh, so I didn't have to put up with the usual complaints on that score.)

Thanks for the correction on lessive.

And again assumptions bit me; I assumed you didn't recognise the Korean as Sino-Korean (silly of me, in retrospect) and was trying to be helpful. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

I must say that the Grass Mud Horse amuses me :) (Though here's it apparently its cousin, the Grass Tower Horse.)

Well, next time I know what to put in as a placeholder!

Wäsche waschen

This sounds so fun to say!

And Tagalog: maglabá (from lavar)

Sounds a bit like "wishy-washy" :)
