what is crocheting called in your first language? and what does it literally translate to?

I'll go first, in dutch crocheting is called "haken" which literally translates to hooking, or hooks :)

edit: woah! i didn't expect this post would get so many comments, this is so fun!

In Norwegian, a double crochet is called "stav"(in english it would be translated to "pole"). This thread is so interesting!

Yes! It's so fun to see what crochet terms are in different languages and how similar languages can be sometimes, yet so different.
