What is the difference between leg and foot?
Good morning Kiki.
Your leg is the limb immediately above your ankle.
You foot is below your ankle.
Your ankle is what joins the two parts.
Kiki, do you speak one of those languages in which just one word refers to the leg and foot together? Does your language perhaps use the word “noha” or “noga”?
“Noga” is in Polish and though it is commonly do used to describe this part of the human body below hips (of course people usually have 2 legs and “noga” means just one), it’s not exactly, not technically the same thing as “leg” and “foot” put together:)
Beacause “a foot” has it’s own translation which is “stopa”.
Sure, but when I’ll bet people generally use the word “stopa” only when being very, very specific. If Polish is like Czech, a Polish person who has cut his thigh or calf will say he has a cut on his “noga”. And when a drunk man is slow dancing at a discotheque, the woman he’s dancing with will tell him he’s stepping on her “nogi”, not her “stopy”. Am I right?
Yes, Jamie, you are perfectly right 
Maybe exept this example with discotheque, I’d use “stopy” after all, but when I think about it, we indeed use “foot” just to specify. Commonly it is just “noga”.
