We have that in Gujarati "navde nokhu satde sajjad"

Gas valves famously use the opposite direction

DROL: Dicht Rechts, Open Links.

I think I just prefer Links Los, which implies that the other way tightens.

Dutch, BTW.

I don't think we have a Swedish one. But we call clockwise "medsols" and counterclockwise "motsols". Meaning "with the sun" or "against the sun" Does everyone have reversed threads on plumbing or is that a Nordic/Swedish thing? All plumbing has the reversed rule, left tightens and right loosens.

"Eins og kókflaska" or "Same as a Coca Cola bottle", not universal in Iceland though

I remember it as right hand screw rule

Gas pipes. All gas fittings are reversed threaded. So it is virtually impossible to connect one to the other.

If japanese has one, I've never heard it. Japanese wife hasn't either. She was surprised it's a thing. She said maybe tradesmen might, but certainly nothing everyone knows

One mnemonic is to imagine yourself opening a jar.

Never heard it in Polish but we generally don't need a mnemonic to remember which side is left and which is right (except in politics).

Probably a result of turning wrenches since I was first able, but that rule, to me, feels akin to "up the stairs take you up, down the stairs take you down".
