Do you often use shampoo? do you put ketchup on your food?

Have you ever visited a sauna? If you think these words are originally english,

you'd better think again. In fact , each of these words comes from a different langguage!

shampoo, for example, is actually a Hindi word and comes from India.

This word originally meant "massage." In hair shops in india,barbers massage your

head while washing your hair. over time, british people in india came to use this word

for the washing liquid.

 

 Almost everyone knows ketchup. people all over the world like to pour this tomato

sauce on their French fires or sandwiches. however ,this world is originally Chinese.

(from ketsiap,a fish sauce). In the 1600s, British and Dutch sailors brought back this fish

sauce to europe. Over time, people added tomato falvor to it but the name remained

basicallythe same.

 Sauna, a popular type of public steam room and shower facility comes from the Finnish

language.

It became famous at the Olympics.

Athletes from Britain and Germany saw Finnish athletes use saunas after training.

Later, the general pubilc all over Europe started using this style of bathing too.

Now, we still use this world to describe all kinds of steam rooms

 English is full of many won-derful boroowed words form many diverse languages.

Perhaps english should change its name to eng-hin-chi-fin-fre-ger-ital-span-ish!
