Community Tutor🤔🌍 Do you know how many percentage of English words came from other languages?
Surprisingly, around 70–80% of English vocabulary is borrowed from other languages! That’s right — most of the words we use every day didn’t originally come from English at all!
Here are some fun examples:
🇯🇵Japanese: sushi, karaoke
🇮🇹Italian: pizza, opera
🇦🇪Arabic: coffee, algebra
🇮🇳Hindi: jungle, shampoo
🇫🇷French : café, ballet, cuisine
All these borrowed words blend together to create a language that’s always growing, changing, and full of surprises! ✨
