Did you know English didn’t really start out as English?
A huge chunk of the language actually comes from elsewhere. In fact, some estimates say close to 80% of English words were borrowed from other languages over time. We’ve picked up German (kindergarten), Latin (audio), Italian (opera), Japanese (karaoke), plus words from Sanskrit (yoga) and even Finnish (sauna). And that’s not the end – it’s still evolving every day.
In this quiz, you’ll get 30 loanwords that we use every day. All you have to do is spot the language they came from.
If you haven’t tried Part 1 of this quiz yet, definitely check it out here!
Let’s see how many you know! 📖

Both "bandanna" and "bandana" are correct spellings, but "bandana" is the more common and preferred spelling in American English, while "bandanna" is more frequently seen in British English.

These "root word" quizzes should avoid cases where a correct selection is an origin or derivative of a "wrong" selection. For instance, I knew "genre" would be French. (Besides knowing French, it's just so d**n French.) But it comes from "genere," which is a Latin word. See also: gender, genus, general, for examples.
