I just realized I don't think I've ever talked about toes in my native language. Dictionary insists they are indeed foot-fingers but I've literally never said ir heard that? Like it's possible we have a regional dialect that refers to them as something else and I'm just forgeting?

I'm like 90% sure you're supposed to always specify hand-fingers or foot-fingers but people just leave it up to context cues? Idk.

It’s because you just say “finger” and the context is understood.

What's your native language?
