Sometimes I stop to savor the words and wonder about their origin. Actually, a great number of words we use daily have their origin in somewhere else. Tendencies are taken from cognate languages, or neighbor states, movies, music… The list can be endless. When eating habits change, new tendencies are incorporated into language as well. Sushi, for example, mmmm, it’s delicious and unobserved we know some Japanese 🙂 Language learning can indeed be unconscious.

Fun fact of the day; did you know that the word “taboo” is actually Tongan?
