Same in German: "Weißwaren" also translates directly to white goods. I think it's amazing to see the similarities in languages.

In Slovak we call it "Biela technika" which translates to "White technology".

Interesting. It would be almost same “biała technika” in Polish but I’ve never heard that term.

Wow I’d never heard (or at least noticed) that and I speak German. Turns out they have red, brown and black too.

Was a tiny culture shock learning "hvitevarer" when I moved to Norway too.

Dutch as well. ‘Witgoed’
