Re: Question for non-English/ ESL speakers....

[world_eater]

Well you're using Kindergarten or Angst or Rucksack (since you mentioned bag) or Meister or kaputt or verboten even though you have perfectly fine words for that.

You sound like borrowing mundane words is this ~super foreign concept~ and Americans only borrow meaningful words.
I know that's not your intention, I'm just saying.

I will admit Kindergarten and angst are common in everyday usage. The others, though, really are *not*. I know growing up that i might have said kaputt or verboten because my grandmother was German and my mom and dad both spoke it, but the kids at my school gave me weird looks when i used *English* words of more than two syllables.

It struck me as odd because there were little kids, a lot of whom didn't have much school and no real interactions with English 'stuff' (tv and whatnot), and who lived in an area with no English or American people and basically spoke Hindi except...for one random number coming out in English. It wasn't like English with it's many many borrowed words, it was just...a single random utterance in a flood of Hindi. So, yes, it made me wonder *why*.

I'm not *objecting* or *denigrating*, just interested.
