(Anonymous) 2014-06-22 03:48 am (UTC)(link)Because the English language had no word for shmuck, glitch, heimish, or klutz.
Korean couldn't find a different word for "news" than "nyusu" despite the fact that the Chinese managed quite well with xinwen. And of course undong could never possibly be used to mean seupocheu (sports).
You're right, every single word ever loaned is because the other language had no word for it. Nobody but English speakers have sex or shit, that's why "shit" and "fuck" have been borrowed across borders.

(Anonymous) 2014-06-22 04:12 am (UTC)(link)Tell me more about how the Pilgrims brought wifi over on the Mayflower.
Also you conveniently ignored ALL THE MANY WORDS loaned from MANY LANGUAGES in favor of talking about English. I gave English as an example because I hoped it would be easier for you to comprehend.
Okay, so how about French loanwords in Korean? That is because the French occupied Korea during the late Koryo Dynasty, isn't it? ISN'T IT?
Please stop using English. Many of the words are from Greek/Latin; you are appropriating Roman and Greek culture.

(Anonymous) 2014-06-22 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)Japan uses English words (badly, and incorrectly) all over the damn place because it's cool. Not because it's "forced" on them, but because interjecting a couple random English words into a pop song, or on a T-shirt, etc, is so cool.
Any thoughts on appropriation in that case? lol
