From Yahoo:
"Origin of Words"
Another reddit user noted that "pi" is a prefix for "beer" in several European countries while the "pi" in the Mandarin Chinese word for beer, 啤酒 pi jiu, is a loan word from Europe.
It's always interesting to see how different languages say the same word and to see that different regions have the same basic root while others don't. ^
