According to the west Anime refers to any animation that comes from Japan, but to the Japanese anime is any form of animation in general. So to people in Japan Avatar is an anime, but to us it is just a cartoon.

It depends on language, not country. In Japanese, "anime" means any animation in general. In English, "anime" means Japanese animation.

 

The exact same word can easily mean different things in different languages, even if the root word is the same.

You're right, but the word is defined by cultural view points.
