lmao, not an english native speaker here. What would be, in english language, the difference between poisonous and venomous? Lifting aside the "pois" and the "ven".

Hace un par de días teníamos esta misma discusión aquí, básicamente «poison» es si lo tocas y mueres. «Venom» es si te muerde y mueres. En español es más simple con veneno jaja

Español cuenta también con "Ponzoñoso" (Poisonous ) para poder diferenciar. Pero en si, sólo son sinónimos y se utilizan igual.

Lo mismo me pasó hace unos años. En tumblr había un post donde mencionaban las diferencias entre un "raven" y un "crow", pero ambos sabemos que la traducción directa de ambas palabras es "cuervo"

Y que tal de un jackdaw?

Raven — Cuervo
Crow — Corneja
Jackdaw — Grajilla

Portuguese has no different word for them as well. Both raven and crow are translated as "corvo".

Crow sería corneja, propiamente dicho... but everyone knows that ravens are just a big species of crow.
