How common are English loan words in your language?
>>
>>61831872
Our equivalent of chavs use a ton of English words in between Portuguese words, it makes them sound even more cancerous.
>>
>>61831872
Not really. There's vikend (weekend), kul (cool) and ful (from full but means a lot). I don't think there are many others.
>>
>>61831872
You don't need loanwords when the younger generation speak a mix of Dutch and English.
>>
>>61831872
Quite common. The more hipster one is the more one tend to use English loan words. I laugh every time they say "agurii-desu" when they agree something.
>>
We use
>ok
>sorry
on a daily basis.
>>
>>61832214
Which is more common: het lunch or het middageten?
>>
>>61832273
and
>weekend

Holy shit that sounds autistic as fuck hahahaha

mindless teenagers tend to mix english and finnish together when speaking, sounding absolutely moronic

>>61832224
Its retarded how you guys loan words from us but modify them for some reason

eg: high five = hai tatchi (high touch)

wasei eigo is stupid and confusing, and probably makes it harder for Japanese people to learn proper english.
>>
>>61832673
Still probably better than most anglophones are at other languages.

This.

DE LUNCH NIET HET LUNCH REEEEE
Lunch is almost never used but I do agree that dutch has an unhealthy amount of loanwords from english.

My beoble loan French words in an attempt to look classy... Fake af.
>>
>>61832273
that's because the polish word for "sorry" is long and pretty formal sounding

ok/okay are commonly used throughout europe i think

other than that English loanwords are usually used when we don't have an equivalent of the word in Polish yet, for example "product placement", which recently finally got translated into "lokowanie produktu"
>>
>>61832275
They are both used, but on different occasions. It's a bit of a nuance difference.

desu not many languages have their own word for "weekend"

i know german does, but thats about it
>>
We have a bunch of loan words in science, hi-tech,literature and fashion. But with accent, you can never understand that it's from English.
>>
Faire du 'shopping', less popular in favor of Faire les 'courses'
'Weekend', very popular, laternative ould be 'fin de semaine'
'parking', much more popular than 'aire de stationnemant'
'ok' instead of 'd'accord'
Although english seems to trigger some of us cos e have official comitees ho make up ne ords so that e don't have to use english ones, for example http://www.celog.fr/cpi/termino_02-2.htm
>>
>>61837051
We have "konec tedna", which is literally "end of the week".
>>
>>61831872
A good portion if them are borrowed from English. You could say that we practically stole the language
>>
>>61837051
Weekend in Russian is 'vykhodnyye', what meant a days, when slave could go out from his master's house to rest.
>>
>>61831872
Depends on.
Computer and Stop are two that come to my mind.

It was once trendy to use english words insteed of german ones to sound cool but this died away since nearly everyone speaks at least basic english.
>>
In Dutch you can often use a Dutch, German, French and English way to say things.
>>
>>61837492
The common origins of the languages are quite apparent in Dutch.
>>
>>61832273
Everyone uses "ok"
Teenage girls use "sorry"

What's from with sliha?
It sounds like Russian Shluha.
>>
>>61832017
>ful (from full but means a lot)

Ful comes from viel tbch. A foreigner might also think that the Slovene word fukati (to fuck) is taken from English, but it's in fact a native derivation akin to the Czechoslovak šukati.

Then there's fajn, which derives from fine and is replacing the older borrowing fino, from the German fein. We've also got WC (water closet), OK (originally from one of the West African languages apparently), TV, and obviously words for pop culture such as film, popkorn, hit, singl, rock, blues/bluz, dance glasba/muzka, etc.
>>
>>61836873
>that map is bullshit, there is no way Polish is closer to Bulgarian than to Russian

Yeah, and we're supposed to be the link between Slavic and Albanian. The person who made that map was tripping balls.

>>61837051
>desu not many languages have their own word for "weekend"

This can be solved by a simple translation. We took Wochenende and simply made it into konec tedna.
>>
>>61833799
not with brexit, rendering the EU without english as an official language
>>
>>61837688
>Ful comes from viel
Na to pa nisem pomislil.

>fukati
Prav tako fukniti, če se ne motim.

>film, hit,...
Imaš prav, te so mi ušle. Edino za popkorn in "dance" glasbo prvič slišim.

almost none desu

colloquial used terms like okay and sorry get twisted by our dialects

sorry = sori
okay = okei, ookoo

>>61836685

>that's because the polish word for "sorry" is long and pretty formal sounding

Same here. Is this a sign of the perfidious albion? Their word for sorry is short and meaningless because they never are?
>>
>>61838007
Vseeno pa sem prodajal buče s trditvijo glede fajn/fino. Še vedno pa je zanimivo, da smo si eno in isto besedo sposodili dvakrat, po eno varianto za visoki in nizki jezikovni register. Mogoče je celo, da je fino izvorna, starejša slovenska izposojenka, medtem ko je fajn morda vstopila v naš jezik iz kajkavščine ali češčine. OT, ampak jbg.
