A ton of loanwords tho

>>52947514
Quite a few.
Over 25% of our vocabulary is from a Germanic language (proto-germanic, low german, swedish, old norse, high german). And many of these happen to be cognates with English.

"tool" vs "stool"
"torm" vs "storm"
"kool" vs "school"
"kipper" vs "skipper"
"pott" vs "pot"
"hunt" vs "hound"
"rikas" vs "rich"
"mõrv" vs "murder" (this one was created ex nihilo, but it was likely influenced by German "Mord", which is a cognate to English "murder")
>>
>>52948014
And those are not counting modern terms and loanwords, like "arest", "revolutsioon" etc
>>
>>52948014
too kool for school
>>
>>52948014
Also our word for "yes" - "jah" is a cognate to english "yeah" and "yea" (not "yes" though)
>>

This thread is retarded.
Of course this fucking language is going to share words with other different languages. More than 60% of its core vocabulary is foreign you dumb shit.

Go outside if youre gonna make these kinds of stupid threads.

As in words related to loans, shekelsnatcher?
>>
None, but we do use many English loanwords in Ljubljana when talking in slang. Hearing young people drop English adverbs and adjectives in the middle of a Slovenian sentence is pretty common.
>>
>>52947514

English is the dumpster baby of euro languages. quarter French, quarter Latin/Greek, quarter German, small percentage native English words and the rest from various other languages like Arabic. I can't think of any other language with such a clusterfuck for vocabulary, it must make learning English a pain in the ass.
>>
>>52954174
With that thinking, all Europeans languages are dumpster baby euro languages. All of them are a mix of different languages.

You mean words that aren't loaned from English? Cat
