As a Korean, it's wild to see what words that we got from the Japanese come from somewhere even further. I've always wondered some like
Jjokki - Jacket/vest
Ppang - Bread
dah-mah (I think?) - bulb/fuse
mang-toh - Coat/cloak
jjah-mong - pomelo like fruit
- krsdcbl 3y agojjokki could be from German "Jacke" (afaik here are also many German loanwords in japanese, specially in engineering & medical fields) ppang sounds like it came from french "pain" mang-toh also french "manteau"
- WalterBright 3y agowishatzu - shirt (from white shirt) oranju jusu - orange juice
- anthk 3y agoClose to Spanish: Chaqueta/Pan/Manto(old fashioned -centuries- cloak/coat/cape)/Limón
