I’m not sure if there’s a word for that in Finnish, shitting hole maybe?
Non-existent in germany, fortunately
I’ve only seen them in France and so I call them French toilets
French toilet (Frans toilet)
We call it an Italian toilette.
In german it is „omg I don’t have to shit anymore“ 😆😆😆
I’ve only ever heard these referred to as *you-know-these-French-loos,* followed by an explanation how they are not actually French, but that’s where people knew them from.
Donations for Sweden, hole
So, I checked Wikipedia, and an article with the exact same picture gave me “huktoalett” (Squat toilet), and either French or Asian toilet.
Retrete Turca

You can still buy and install them.
Personaly I call it a Turkish toilet because the only time I saw one, was on a family vacation in Turkey.
In French, it is also called “Turkish toilet “
We don’t have these but I have seen them in rural France very occasionally so I associate them with France
We don’t even consider that a toilet.
Tigre (Tiger)
The only time I’ve ever used one is in Italy. I have to say that I really like them. Very natural shitting position
In France we call it ‘toilettes à la Turque’. It was common in public loo, highway stations, camping parks… We put them for hygienic reasons : to deter Dutch tourists to invade us, alas they found a way, nowadays they bring their private loo, integrated in their caravans…
Turkish
Squatty potty…
Only ever saw them in France, so we call it a shit hole. Fittingly enough.
The Dubai influencer mouth.
It was initially invented by the Belgians. The Turkish only added the hole. We celebrate their engineering genius since then.
In Russian it’s called Чаша Генуя (Chasha Genuya), which is literally “Genoa Cup” 😀
French toilet in Dutch
French toilet in Dutch
Frans toilet.
(French toilet)
Hmm, in English we’d call that “A fucking travesty”.
Back when I was a wee boy we just called em “European toilets”
Probably because you’d only ever seen these monsters on the continent
in turkish its “alla turca toilet” from italian, (derived as alaturka), aka turkish style toilet, lol
its used by hicks mostly and a VERY specific type of person that cant fathom sitting on a toilet that was used by someone else, who’ll also argue how we “adopted the filthy western toilets instead of our beautiful alla turca toilets”
in Finnish we call this “Mitä vittua”
Did you know it’s actually a Belgian invention? The Turks just added the hole.
i personally call it “il peggior cesso esistente al mondo non ci voglio cagare più” but you do you
Last night i saw José Luis Gil call it a Placa Turca
But like Hans said, it’s better known as a “I suddenly don’t have to shit anymore”
Apparently French toilet but my family calls it a “Gat in de grond”
It’s called a ‘never mind, i’ll wait’-toilet.
ive never seen this type of toilet in europe, only in morrocco and italy
Smerig gat in de grond
French toilet.
My colleague who attended elementary school in Veneto in the 80s said that his school had these “toilets” and I wonder to this day how much of a fucked up kind of sadist can one be to make 6 years olds shit in that hole.
