Little sticky pieces of paper or a postage stamp.

I have seen some suggestions of stamps in Swedish language. It is actually called “Frimärke”. The sound is something like frimaerke. The meaning is actually free label.

I think the shorhest Turkish
"Pul"

In Cantonese, it's read as yàu-piu.
In Hokkien, it's read as yiu-pio.

It's written 郵票 in Traditional Chinese and 邮票 in Simplified Chinese.

Also in Maori

Post Office - Whare Pohi (Fahree Poooheee)
Postage (Post) - Pohi
Cost - Utu

How much does a postage stamp cost?

Ko wai te utu o te pane kuini?

Where is the Post Office

Ko wai o te wahi Whare Pohi ?

Some of these are loan words, which the Maoir had to make up in the mid 1800s to accommodate words they had never heard before Europeans arrived. The words have had to be adapted to the constraints of the Maori alphabet which has only 13 letters and 2 dipthongs (ng and wh).

That is why the words are different from Samoan and other Polynesian languages.
