It was the 15th century when Portuguese sailors and navigators started exploring the other parts of the world. Getting around from Africa, China, India, South America to the Middle East, they laid the foundation of a large Portuguese colony. Playing major role in world affairs, Portuguese came into contact of several cultures, traditions and languages. It was the reason that some Portuguese words found their way into English language and became part of its glossary.

Here are five interesting English words that have been derived from Portuguese. Let us go through them one by one.

Albino
While talking about the Portuguese originated English words, first comes Albino which comes from albo means ‘white.’ In English, it means – a person or animal having a congenial absence of pigment in the skin and hair. This word is also used to refer to any abnormally white animal or tiger.

Dodo
The word Dodo originated in the 17th-century from Portuguese ‘doudo’ means ‘simpleton.’ Dodo, as most people recognize was a long-extinct, flightless bird who once populated the island of Mauritius. As the bird had no fear of man, when Portuguese and Dutch sailors arrived there (in the starting of the 16th century), it got easily killed, and the population of the bird rapidly dropped off leaving it extinct. Hence the bird got its name. In contemporary English, Dodo is used to refer anything extinct. The word also appeared in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll as idioms – dead as dodo (referring to any obsolete thing.

Fetish
The word Fetish has been derived from Portuguese word ‘feitiço’ that means ‘charm,’ ‘sorcery.’ Originated in the 17th century, the word referred to an object used by the people of West Africa as an amulet or charm. Interestingly the word feitiço itself has been derived from the Latin factīcius that means artificial.

Joss
The word Joss originated during the early 18th century from Portuguese word deos means ‘God’. Today the word refers to a Chinese god or idol. The Portuguese word deos has itself been derived from Latin deus.

Tempura
“I’d like to make a tempura batter to deep fry fish at home.” – Marco Pierre White in Marco’s Clinic.

Tempura is a Japanese dish of vegetables, shrimp and other seafood deep fried after dipping in a batter. However, the word itself is not Japanese. Its history dates back to mid-16th century when the country came into contact with Chinese and Dutch traders. The concept of batter frying was lent to Japanese by Portuguese. The word tempura itself comes from Latin ‘Tempora’ that means the Ember Days when Catholics abstain from eating meat.

Every language holds an essence in itself which can never be translated. And when it comes for Chinese language, it is all the more truthful. Even if you don’t have any hint about Chinese language, you must be aware how different it is from English and other Western languages. A completely different grammar, a unique tone, and an inimitable writing system make this language poles apart from any other language in the world. Due to China’s outlandishly ancient culture, Mandarin (standard Chinese) preserves a number of untranslatable collection of beautiful words that cannot be deciphered even with the help of professional Chinese translation.

Let us learn a few of them.

Jiànwài
Literally, this word means regarding somebody as an outsider or to act like an outsider. However, in authentic Chinese, it denotes the act of treating someone as an outsider who is supposed to be your friend, especially by being too courteous. Have we any exact word for this act in English?

Xiǎo chī
If you will search the meaning of this Chinese term in dictionary, you will find results as ‘snacks’ or ‘refreshment.’ However, this word is something more than that. Xiǎo chī refers to small portions of meal, means something between a snack and a complete meal. For example a large bowl of noodles or a platter full of dumplings which is neither too small to be called snacks nor too large in portions to be called a meal. See how many words we need to describe the meaning of Xiǎo chī in English!

Xīnkǔ
The literal meaning of Xīnkǔ is ‘with much toil,’ ‘laborious.’ But when you delve deeper for the authentic meaning of this word, it is used to refer to somebody’s hard work for the purpose of thanking them.

Téng
Téng has been derived from téngtòng which is a fixed phrase that means both hurt and pain. If suffixed with certain Chinese terms, they produce different meanings like xīntòng which refers to something that makes you sad or take pity on something.

Sā jiāo
‘To act like a spoiled child’ or ‘to throw tantrums’ are the meanings you get while looking for the meaning of sā jiāo. But the word is encapsulated with something deeper and requires some more words to describe the exact connotation. It is especially used to delineate a grown up woman pouting in anger and tramping her feet in order to get her demands fulfilled. Next time you see such a woman, you have an exact Chinese word to describe her action.
