Anime and the sushi stuff

Patrick Mahomes would call soccer football

LOL from that guy

watashi wa star

if I'm referring to something japanese and it will be more easily understood if I use the japanese term then I'll use it

anime
umami
japanese food ie: ramen, onigiri, karaage, etc
all the japanese p*** terms
japanese media tropes

^if the term catches on for whatever reason, usually ease of marketing, its whats gonna be used by most people its how language works

also languages take from each other all the time man

from french they adapted words like cliché, homage, technique, restaurant, souvenir... words we use regularly in english

no one in the english speaking world gaf about french comics or animation

I feel like we call them by their Japanese names because they're so different to Western animation/comics that just using that term wouldn't take that into account

One or two. same with french, german, spanish.

mukbang

None

I really like the French phrase

Nostalgie de la boue

And its English translation

Nostalgia for mud

yearning for pig consciousness—wallowing in mud and loving it

Omg that’s so me

I’ve actually been studying this a bit. French is a Romance language but English is a Germanic language similar to German and Dutch. Anglo Saxons from the coast of Germany and the Netherlands came to England, I can’t remember why but that’s where our weird German side comes from.

But French was introduced into English by the Normans from the Normandy coast of France when they invaded and took control.

French became the language of the courts and high society eventually until words became integrated into our own language. Sooner or later, that kingdom fell and things reverted back to being English but of course those words are still with us today. Allot of words like democracy, culture, tax, prison, mayor, music, war, faith, attorney etc etc all come from French

these things are matters of context at the time of adoption who gives af. Gastronomy has many french words because french cuisine was dominating at the time the words were adopted. france was not an international powerhouse of comics when that market was developed.

that's why father/mother/son/daughter come from german and uncle/nephew/aunt/cousin come from latin because only high society cared about extended family

but also there were two french dialects fighting in england the norman one and the one used by latter kings of french origins so this is why a lot of words have the same french origin but with slight differences and different meanings, like guarantee and warranty

and words for dead animals come from french because that's what you eat but words for living animals come from german because that's what you know as a farmer

I think we watched the same YouTube video

But also I think you are French right? so maybe this is just common knowledge for you

I say Kawaii all the time
