Korean is the same way. Like a solid quarter to a third of the words I've learned so far are just English loan words and it kinda pisses me off.
• u/karspearhollow 2h ago That hasn't been my experience. I know somewhere between 2500 and 3000 Korean words and fewer than 10% are loan words. It is funny when I ask a Korean person how to say an English word and they say it back with Korean phonetics, though.
