Mother tongue, professional tongue and tongue twisters!

Many times we are at loss with/for words- it could be with our mother tongue and/or professional tongue(English)! The morale from this article is to look for neighborhood tongues. The neighbours in this case could be located across oceans/continents also! It is already an established fact that English draws some of its words from other languages across the globe! Having said this, now the words mentioned in this article mostly are tongue twisters- so even if we understand the meaning, it is quite difficult to pronounce and use the same! Now we know how English, survives, thrives and thus spreads! Here, selected from the blog So Bad So Good, are some of my favorites: Age-otori (Japanese): To look worse after a haircut Arigata-meiwaku (Japanese): An act someone does for you that you didn't want to have them do and tried to avoid having them do, but they went ahead anyway, determined to do you a favor, and then things went wrong and caused you a lot of trouble, yet in the end social conventions required you to express gratitude Backpfeifengesicht (German): A face badly in need of a fist Forelsket (Norwegian): The euphoria you experience when you are first falling in love Gigil (pronounced Gheegle; Filipino): The urge to pinch or squeeze something that is unbearably cute Litost (Czech): A state of torment created by the sudden sight of one's own misery Manja (Malay): "To pamper," it describes gooey, childlike, and coquettish behavior by women designed to elicit sympathy or pampering by men Pena ajena (Mexican Spanish): The embarrassment you feel watching someone else's humiliation Sgriob (Gaelic): The itchiness that overcomes the upper lip just before taking a sip of whisky Tatemae and Honne (Japanese): What you pretend to believe and what you actually believe, respectively Tingo (Pascuense language of Easter Island): To borrow objects one by one from a neighbor's house until there is nothing left Waldeinsamkeit (German): The feeling of being alone in the woods
