Foreign words in Chinese. I believe all languages uses foreign words when their own vocabulary is insufficient.
For instance French. They have adopted a Danish combined expression meaning something like "mess in a kitchen", which is what cooking always results in.
In this blog I will post the foreign words used in Mandarin Chinese. You are most welcome to add some, just make a comment to any post you like.
