AMD 5 Alisa

For AMD 5, I read the article on Denglisch. Denglisch is a combination of Deutsch + English and it's kind of cool that English is spoken so widely that something like Denglisch is used in all German-speaking countries. I think it's funny that words like "rebooten" and "gedownloadet" exist because you can totally understand what it means and it's not one of those verbs that you make up by adding -en but it is actually a valid word in German. I like some of these psuedo-anglicisms words that are provided, where they're German words but don't have a correlating translation or a completely different translation in English. Some examples are the German word "Peeling" which would mean face or body scrub in English, "Showmaster" which translates to a TV show host, and, my favorite "Dressman" which translates to a male model. Then the article talked about how there are words that aren't even translated to German and just kept and used in English. This is in range to the movie title of "Ice Age" all the way to fast food chains like "Double Whopper" at Burger King (although it used to be called "Doppel-Whopper"). It's neat to see how much language has evolved throughout the world. Even in Korea, a lot of English is incorporated into slang and products even though Korean isn't latin-based or has any relation to English. A few examples would be like the word hamburger is said as hamburger in Korea as well as lotion and model, etc. I guess it makes sense because the term was imported or adapted from other countries and doesn't have an unique name of its own. I think it's very neat that language is something that people don't normally struggle with in Europe and that most people are able to speak multiple languages from childhood because a lot of languages often share a similar base of characters and certain vocabulary words tend to be similar as well.
