THERE ARE AT least 250,000 words in the English language and yet, frustratingly, we still have problems articulating ourselves from time to time.
Everyday life would be a little less smooth without the words like pyjamas (thanks, India), ketchup (cheers,China) or breeze (ditto, Portugal) – but what about the words we haven’t adopted yet?
Here are just seven we should probably consider nabbing from other lanuages…
Kaelling (Denmark)
Tartle (Scotland)
Pesamenteiro (Portugal)
Jayus (Indonesia)
Giri-Giri (Hawaii)
Cafune (Brazil)
Gattara (Italy)
