What the fuck, eu odeio inglês agora

Anglos and non latin language users will say french or latin words and latin language user will say I don't know yet.

en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dilettante#English

That doesn't make it English though

>what are loanwords?

You
Preposterous

Also, For some reason using French loanwords in English have the same effect for me:
Rendezvous, raison d'etre, en route and so on

Never heard these before

enmesh
bona fide
inebriate
ingominious
atrabilious
denizen

Avuncular

What about mayday ? From "m'aider" ?

>enmesh
>atrabilious

ubiquitous

btw i cannot recall some cool English
>probably stems from Old English
>maybe the word starts with "v"(i don't remember correctly, but it's evident it starts with some voiced sound letter)
>means "void" "empty"
>it's a typical word mentioned in this kind of thread
>a bit cliche(brits said)
>state of sentiment

This is not a riddle

t. Brainlets

...

1. That is not what "pedantic" means.
2. "dilettante" is an Italian word.

t. pedantic person

How does that change the fact that it's an Italian word?

t. Non-brainlet

Vacuous?

Wa la
(when you are done with something)

amuse-bouche

Dude, literally all the words come from some other language. They adopted the word dilettante just like Portuguese people got arroz (rice) from Arab people
>Borrowing from Andalusian Arabic الرَّوْز (ar-rawz), from Arabic أَرُزّ (ʾaruzz, “rice”), from Ancient Greek ὄρυζα (óruza, “rice”), of Iranian origin.

The Chad English the virgin other languages

>Vacuous" appeared in English in the middle of the 17th century, at first literally describing something that was empty.

Probably no :(

Voilà, fucking illiterate faggot

It's an incredibly well known French phrase you moron, and is not spelled or even pronounced that way

You guys don't even have the w-sound lmao

Vapid?
Voilà

It's pronounced wa la not woi ler fucking french frogfucker

sauna

my fucking sides

>German education
Howling

She has become enmeshed in a tangle of drugs and petty crime.

But despite the gloomy nonsense of certain atrabilious dreamers, the wonderful era of the Greeks was that of the reign of the courtesans.

>Origin of vapid
1650–60; < Latin vapidus; akin to vapor

Maybe no :(

Also it is noun
I found that word in this kinda thread in Sup Forums one month ago, and some brit said " this word is too cliche"

Guess weekend is a french word now.

Good post

Vapid.

I guess pork isn't an English word since it comes from Old French "porc"

It's already mentioned :(

Wallah brother.

Burger tier posting desu

kek

grandiloquence

This is very useful. Where did u find it

I guess you just want to be a cunt.

It's a french word and they speak french. I think he a french swiss speaker

Bottle.
Say it properly and it will sound like " butthole"

I'm jelly

Do you remember the context in which it was used?

No
Someone posted it with no context like this thread.
I remember its spelling is somehow very impressive

Do you remember any sentence in that thread that you could use in archive search?

Loanwords (and abbreviations) are a trap used by dictionary companies to fatten their releases and publish every year.
In reality, most loan words and most abbreviations are never used, and should probably be removed from the dictionaries. If you said ``dilettante'' in real life, I'm confident nobody on the western seaboard would understand what the fuck you were talking about

Actually I might find a thread, but it was already 404ed, so we cannot track it anymore

learn you some Sup Forums, friend
desuarchive.org/int

Ah shit i didn't know that
The word i am finding was posted for the first time in the thread
And relevant words are like " English" " word" "favorite" "old English"

I'm now searching

Well, I'm sure I've seen the word dilettante in your literature. There are many words in Portuguese that I bet people on the streets won't understand like "obumbrar", for example. It doesn't mean that word isn't valid Portuguese but well you're the native speaker how can I argue with you?

I finally found it...
It's " Wyrd"

Nothing like

kek

I suddenly realised what a great post this is
Good bantz

Nobody is arguing against the concept of loan words, I'm saying that just because your culture adopted one word it doesn't take away the fact that it comes from another language.
You are not going to define "weekend" as a French word just because it's used in French too now (as the other user said).

I looked that word up and it seems to mean fate, destiny and not void or empty but anyway cool
I like smorgasbord and chagrin. Gung ho is cool too
The cool thing about english is that they absorb terms from all over the globe

Angular
Extravagant
Insidious
Defiance
Perseverance
Benefactor
Conduction

porco dio

I mixed up inane and wyrd, which is why i said some balony that the word i looked for meant "void".

Obsessing over small details

maybe grandiloquent, it's autological (it describes itself) grandilquoent means using long words

I think he used pedantic in the sense of:
>Being showy of one’s knowledge, often in a boring manner.

Isn't it like " tries to show off knowledge"

true, but I think we get what she means

>grandilquoent means using long words

It doesn't. Grandiloquent is the use of extravagant, pompous words, not long words.
