Hi everyone! I just update my profile ... and use this Spanish term (from the English "Freaky") ... and so; Looking at the bast of the net... I find an awesome definiition at Ubar Dictionary:
friki
Spanish word that defines: freak, weirdo, geek, nerd, guru, otaku, mangaka, comic liker, book reader, videogame player, film lover and any other person whose likings are not cars, chiks and soccer. You may only like movies, but as a "friki" you like all the other stuff, look weird or act clumsy.

Used as a pejorative word most of the times by ignorant people. "Friki" people calls them gilipollas.
"He likes movies, he's a friki"
"He's reading, he's a friki"
"He likes videogames, he's a friki"
"He likes anime, he's a friki"
"He likes manga, he's a friki"
"He acts weird, he's a friki"
"He likes basketball, he's a friki"
"He's watching a subtitled American show, he's a friki"
"He's reading something in another language, what a friki"
"He's programming, he's such a friki"
#friki #spanish #freak #nerd #weirdo #geek
so people... which words do you borrow from other languages that have change the maner how it is wrote ?

I just put poorly-formatted Spanish into my posts, though technically, to your point, almost all of English is borrowed from Latin and the Germanic root.

FIRKI !!

even being a bit true... it's quite exaggerated ! he he in this case, all "Spanish" is a olde Latin+old greek+Arabic+Germanic mixture and borrowings. XDDD

So as example, I saw mani times "Viva" in full English sentences. ... Viva is as "BANZAI" in Japanese language. I don't know if is there any equivalent word in English.
btw, it just remember me how i was enjoying this video:

some word she use, we do not use in Spain. But... as she speak more Mexican Spanish it's fine. ( and even Funny for me) XD
