What is a loanword?
A loanword is a word adopted from another language with little or no translation, like Japanese パン pan (bread) from Portuguese.
Japanese writes most modern loanwords in katakana, Korean in Hangul and Chinese either by sound (咖啡 kāfēi) or by meaning. Malay and Indonesian have absorbed Sanskrit, Arabic, Portuguese, Dutch, Chinese and English words. English itself borrowed words such as ketchup and kowtow from Asian languages.
Examples
パン pan (bread, from Portuguese pão); 咖啡 kāfēi (coffee); 컴퓨터 keompyuteo (computer); Malay kopi (coffee) and teh (tea, from Hokkien); English kowtow (from 叩頭 kòutóu)
Kungfucius says: Languages borrow words constantly and never give them back.
