It's similar in Serbian (and Croat) - the word for "time", "vreme" also means "weather": https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vreme#Serbo-Croatian

Same thing for Portuguese "tempo"

And Spanish

Italian too

French

And following a great national tradition of low proficiency in English, former French president Sarkozy once welcomed Angela Merkel with "sorry for the time".

And Catalan.

Exact same word in Romanian, huh

I wonder if the English words tempest and temporal have the same word root. (Edit: Indeed, I see someone posted this exact example in another comment thread.)

same in Hungarian: idő = time, weather. and in Latin and in many roman languages.

Same in Bulgarian.

Also, from an online dictionary,

tempest

Middle English tempeste, borrowed from Anglo-French, going back to Vulgar Latin tempesta, replacing Latin tempestāt-, tempestās “stretch of time, period, season, weather, stormy weather”

I love when different languages use one word to mean seemingly unrelated (or at most tangentially related) things, but in the same way.

In French the word for time is also used for weather, e.g. "Le temps est nuageux" is "The weather is cloudy" and "Y a-t-il assez de temps" is "Is there enough time?".

Another one that stuck with me is that "matsu" in Japanese matches both English senses of "pine": the pine tree, or being consumed with longing.

Those are different words with different kanji

松 - pine tree

待つ - wait

Japanese has a ludicrous number of homophones and words that sound like homophones to non-native speakers, so I dunno if there’s much advantage to digging into them

Yeah, it's not quite the same situation, but it's an interesting synchronicity. They're technically different words in English as well, but have converged in pronunciation and spelling. It's not just a random set of homophones, but served as a pun in the title of Matsukaze. It's as though the "nothing" in Much Ado About Nothing just happened to have all of the same double-meanings in Japanese as in Elizabethan English ("gossip", "vagina").

Apparently this double meaning also already existed in Latin (tempus) so it must have spreaded to many languages after that (both from the Greek and Latin roots)
