LOANWORDS

The latest class we learn the concept of loanwords and we research in teams some loanwords and their origins.

In my team, we found the following loanwords:

LOANWORDS	ORIGIN
zombie	african
ketchup	chinesse
garbage	french
lychee	chinesse
umbrella	itilian ombrello
lasagne	italian
vodka	russian
paparazzi	italian/plural
taekwondo	korean
hurricane	spanish
tourist	spanish
tornado	spanish
karate	korean

It is interesting known the origin of the words and it was useful for the reading task and for our vocabulary.

I never imagine that we use in our language words of african origins.
