czarina84 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 In English, we have many words that were acquired from other languages. Mostly, they are pronounced differently than in the original language. For example, "hors d'oevres". It is pronounced "or durves" in America, and we use it to mean appetizers. Do any other languages have this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anna3101 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 For sure, languages always borrow words from each other. You can find a lot of words borrowed from German and French in Russian. All of the languages I'm learning have their fair share of words borrowed from English, I think that's nr 1 "lender" language when it comes to new words, especially in the IT field.
