In Spanish we call them "malas hierbas"
Isn’t hierba buena mint? Everything else must be hierba neutra then
In German it's "Unkraut" which could either be interpreted as "not herb", "abnormal herb" or "evil herb". Is the range similar in Spanish?
Other than the “not” part, yeah. “Mala” is bad, wrong, evil, wicked, ill, naughty, etc.
(Checked this to confirm before I posted, since it’s been several years since I’ve known Spanish well enough to speak it.)
Estonian is umbrohi which is kind of like "not grass" so pretty similar to Deutsch here
I learnt from Animal Crossing that it was "Malezas"
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maleza
La maleza, mala hierba, hierba mala, yuyo, planta arvense, adventicia o planta adventicia, planta espontánea o planta indeseable
"Mala hierba nunca muere" is also a fun saying
Some countries in Latin America call it maleza and others do not
Maleza is more like a thicket or lots of malas hierbas.

But now I see that in some countries is synonymous with mala hierba, I didn't know that.
