It's at least as commonly used in English as say Yiddish words like klutz and schmuck.
- seabass-labrax 3y agoMy dictionary suggests that the noun 'Schmuck' in modern German comes from the Low German adjective 'smuk' meaning beautiful; I can't even find it in an exclusively Yiddish dictionary however.
- OJFord 3y agoOh sorry, I thought they were, but regardless I think kaput is used (in English) at least as much. Br vs Am maybe.
- lopis 3y agoYou'll be surprised to know that English is.. Not a universal language.
- OJFord 3y agoNo I won't, मैं हिंदी सीख रहा हूं, what's your point anyway? You realise I was responding to English speakers claiming a non-English word wasn't used/heard of in English with my own claim that it is?
