As far as I know sauna is the only one

>>212916421 (OP)
thug

>>212916421 (OP)
Smörgåsbord.
Suede.
Moped.
Ombudsman.
Orienteering.
Rutabaga.
Tungsten.

Swedish words used in English.

>>212916477
No

>>212916487
Only tungsten

>>212916521
Only?

>>212916421 (OP)
Bunda

>>212916526
Tungsten is that metal, no?
If yes only one I know

>>212916487
>>212916526
No, all of those. Only orienteering I didn't know.

>>212916487
Did some research and we have a few of these, some a bit questionable though like sisu or rapakivi. Mole (the one in chemistry) seems to be the only legit one

>>212916569
Yeah, I know them all too because I'm a terminally online retard just like you. But that's hardly global recognition, is it??

>>212916588
>I'm a terminally online retard
Same here

>>212916521
Thug is pretty well know. Although, the original word is Thugee, but you're being pedantic.

>>212916582
Apparently it's not I'm tripping

>>212916588
>I'm a terminally online retard
We're all family here.

>>212916421 (OP)
Idk, shalom, amen,

>>212916629
Outside of the anglosphere only those familiar with the works of 2Pac know the word thug, whereas pretty much everyone knows what a sauna is and refers to it by that name across many different languages

>>212916588
Don't know I know any of them from the internet though. Unless you count books as the internet.

>>212916421 (OP)
Most of them I guess, because English (in all its different dialects) is the current lingua franca.

>>212916738
Shabbos shalom, fren.

>>212916421 (OP)
I once saw a french twitch streamer use the term "le n word clip" on twitter

>>212916421 (OP)
Some of our curse words, like fuck, shit.
Maybe some other words, like "okay" or "hello."

>>212916738
Idk isn't hebrew stupid

>>212916629
The word thug isn't really used outside the English-speaking world. Shampoo would be a better example of a well-known Indian word.

>>212916421 (OP)
Karst is the international term for a landscape riddled with limestone sinkholes and perforated rock formations, and it derives its name from the German name for the plateau of Kras in west Slovenia.

sushi, sukiyaki, geisha, kimono, manga, ninja, karate, karaoke, otaku

>>212916933
Bukakke

>>212916952
oh, you already listed that. But it's no wonder that all of these stock and luxury terms were taken from Indian languages, as India accounted for 1/4 of the world's GDP before the British conquest. in b4 the Finnish Jeet hunter takes a screenshot of my post and calls me SAAAAAAAAAR later on

>>212916521
WRONG! Smorgasbord is a word used in English speaking countries. Never seen the rest of those words tho. Maybe they're only used in other nordic countries

>>212916818
>outside of the English-speaking world
So the entire world?

Did you guys know 'robot' is a Czech word? I learned that a few weeks ago and it blew my mind for some reason.

>>212916743
Bien, 25% de votre vocabulaire est français alors. On ne dit plus “frith”.

Totale victoire Normand

>>212917053
Yes, Slovenian has a similar term, 'rabota' for unpaid feudal labor. 'rabotnik' would be the Slovenian equivalent of the Czech robot.

>>212917053
'Pistol' is also a Czech word iirc

>>212917053
yes rabota is labour in the slavic languages
So it means worker
Pistol is also czech

>>212917066
Interesting. I'm trying to think of another Slavic-orgin word that's used worldwide. Vodka, maybe?

>>212917138
>If via German to Romance probably from Middle High German forms like pischulle from Czech píšťala (“firearm”, literally “tube, pipe”),[1] from Proto-Slavic *piščalь, from *piskati, *piščati (“to squeak, whistle”)
Fucking hell, I thought it was Latin. Piščal and piskati are still Slovenian terms today.

>>212917163
Mammoth is Russian

>>212917163
vodka is a diminutive of voda, water but in Russian (iml it would be vodica, which is what we call various body care tonics). That is because originally the drink was called aquavit, from aqua vitae.

>>212917201
I've had Scandinavian aquavit, and it's closer to gin than vodka, because both gin and AV use botanicals. Vodka is just water and ethanol.
And that's what makes it special.

>>212917199
Pogrom is Russian too IIRC

Behemoth
Leviathan
Abracadabra
Big Kahuna(lol)
Macabre
Hallujah

>>212917296
The big kahuna one is false I think

>>212917296
sabaoth
golem
sodom & gomorrah (do expressions count?)

>>212917327
that's hawaiian

>>212917354
It's a neat coincidence though

>>212916421 (OP)
There's nothing like such things in South Korea.

>>212917360
>The root כ-ה-נ (kaf, heh, nun), to serve, officiate or hold high office, is the source of the Hebrew noun כְּהוּנָָה (kehuna), priesthood

>>212917163
tank (armored vehicle) is of russian origin

>>212917053
yes yes we've all read Rossums Universal Robots/seen The World's End

>>212917702
tank is of english origin. with the brits trying to ruse the central powers by saying their tanks were literally water tanks.

>>212916792
"Okay" must be the most known word on Earth. I once conversed, in my limited Mandarin, with an old Chinese man on a train who knew about a dozen words of English: the numbers one through ten, and "okay". (Possibly also "hello"? But I don't know if that counts since it's also been borrowed into Mandarin.)

>>212918011
nowadays it's pronounce more like hokay natively, amirite

>>212917033
What do you call rutabagas if not "rutabaga"? Same with "suede" and "moped".

>>212917037
English may be the global lingua franca, but the majority of humanity still can't hold an actual conversation in it even if they know a few words.

>>212917199
Probably originally from some Siberian language, but spread via Russian.

>>212917296
I thought "abracadabra" was Aramaic, not Hebrew. Or possibly just nonsense.

>>212917011
SAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR

>>212917680
>Gook (technically Korean originally)
That's folk etymology:
>First attested in the 1890s in reference to Filipinos (in particular, it is defined in an 1893 citation in Slang and Its Analogues as referring to prostitutes who followed army camps; it is defined similarly in a 1914 work).[1] The word was used of Nicaraguans during the US military occupation there in the 1910s, and Haitians during the US invasion there, when Herbert Seligman noted in 1920 that "The Haitians [...] are nicknamed 'Gooks'".[1][2]
>Other early uses in the 1920 and 30s still refer to people from the Philippines (a 1921 work refers to the Philippines as "Gook Land"[3]), and the term seems to be connected to goo-goo (“a Philippine person”),[1] for which a variety of etymologies have been proposed; see that entry for more. (A later folk etymology suggests that during the Korean War, North Korean soldiers would shout Korean 美國 (Miguk, “America”) at Americans, who interpreted it as "me gook", as if identifying themselves as "gooks"; this ignores the many earlier examples of the word outside Korea.) Gook was used of Pacific Islanders by World War II, and Koreans and Vietnamese people by the time of the 1950s and 60s US military interventions there, which cemented the shift to meaning "Asian".[1]

>>212918036
...no, not really?

I guess "Kindergarten" is the only one which isn't related to the austrian painter

>>212918298
What about "hamburger"?

>>212918560

Manhwa: smart phone cartoons?
Ramyeon: instant ramen?

>>212916421 (OP)
fuck

>>212918693
Manhwa and ramyeon are just the Korean pronunciations of 漫画 and 拉麺.

>>212918722
fuk mean fuck in Slovenian but it is not an English loanword, it is in fact a Slavic cognate

>>212918161
It's basically the same
It's definitely not nonsense it means machine translate that אברא כדברה

Honestly I've never heard of the word rutabaga in English until now. I guess you could call them root vegetables.
Suede and moped, though, I have heard a lot, so yeah, I don't know what else you'd call them.

A lot of them, mostly things like animal names, food, geographical names, etc
Banana and fetish are some interesting examples. Nigger is also technically of portuguese origin since it comes from negro which is what we called Africans

what? why those

>>212922119
Wow was first recorded in a Scottish translation of the Aeneid

Horny was popularised by Robert Burns

Proven is technically incorrect English and also from Scotland

They were chosen because it is unexpected

>>212920112
I doubt paprika is Hungarian in origin

>>212921926
Motor + pedal (same in Swedish), because early models had pedals.

Archipelago

A number of Quechua words have entered English and French via Spanish, including coca, condor, guano, jerky, llama, pampa, poncho, puma, quinine, quinoa, vicuña (vigogne in French), and, possibly, gaucho. The word lagniappe comes from the Quechuan word yapay "to increase, to add". The word first came into Spanish then Louisiana French, with the French or Spanish article la in front of it, la ñapa in Louisiana French or Creole, or la yapa in Spanish. A rare instance of a Quechua word being taken into general Spanish use is given by carpa for "tent" (Quechua karpa).[38
