What is the difference between borrowed words and cognates

1 answer:

6 0

<span>A borrowed word is one taken over directly from another language. Cognates are words with common roots in an earlier parent language with certain idiomatic changes. They can also occur several times in the same language: "shirt" and "skirt" are derived from the same word ultimately borrowed from Old Norse: "skyrta".

"Kindergarten" is a direct borrowing from German and means the same thing on both sides of the Atlantic.

"Der Container" in German is not just anything that contains something else, but one of those giant trash things you see on building sites or a shipping container that doubles as a boxcar. The word is international and shorter than, say, "Großraumbehälter."

By contrast:

"deer" is cognate with German "Tier", though a "Tier" is any animal, "Tiergarten" = zoo.
"house" is German "Haus", Dutch "huis", Norwegian/Swedish/Danish "hus", all meaning, surprise, surprise, "house."

None of these words were borrowed from another language, but descended independently from Proto-Germanic.

What does MacArthur mean when he says "appeasement but begets newer and bloodier wars"

Explanation:What does MacArthur mean when he says "appeasement but begets newer and bloodier wars?"

There are some who for varying reasons would appease Red China. They are blind to history’s clear lesson, for history teaches with unmistakable emphasis that appeasement but begets newer and bloodier wars. It points to no single instance where this end has justified that means, where appeasement has led to more than a sham peace. The quote above is from Douglas MacArthur’s “Farewell Address” to a joint session of Congress on April 19, 1951. He had just been dismissed by President Harry S. Truman as the commander of American forces in the Korean War . MacArthur was a war hawk, there can be little doubt about that. He was also a fierce cold warrior who wanted to stop communism in its tracks in all corners of the globe. The passage about appeasement suggests that giving into the enemy or making concessions to the enemy is a policy that will not meet the objective of peace. He believes that by granting the enemy their way at any point, the end result will be that they will demand more in the future. MacArthur likens conciliation with your adversary to becoming victims of blackmail. He believes the rival will keep asking for more until you have no choice but to fight a war that will be more violent. It will be more violent because you have given the enemy time to recover and your opposition will feel emboldened.

Which of the following would you order at the end of a meal

Gelneren [198K]

<h2>Correct answer:</h2><h3>c. Postre</h3>

Postre is the correct answer because this word means dessert, which is a sweet food you can get at the end of a meal. The other options are incorrect because azucar means sugar and is illogical for you to eat just sugar after meal. On the other hand, cuchara means spoon and tenedor means fork.
