i just realised there is a common sound to some forms of the word for Jesus as the name Zeus

in slavic languages they say ee-soos and someone's username reminded me of the JEEEEZUS exclamation from some old teen adventure movie from the 80s (the one with tom cruise in it). and in portuguese they say it with a harder J and the U is more like an OO than UH

there's some peculiar things about portuguese, i never got interested in learning it until i literally live in the country, and now i hear these sounds and i'm like, "this sounds so much like serbian" so often, but i'm learning the actual words involved and they are different words but the sound is still very similar to my serbian-trained ears
