Languages often borrow words from each other, with nouns being the most common borrowed words. This process of borrowing is called "calking," which involves breaking down a word into its component parts and translating each part separately. Examples of calked words include "sky scraper" (combining "tall" and "scraper") and "long word" (a copy of the German concept "Linvort"). The term "calking" comes from the French word "calcul," meaning "to copy or trace." The process of calking can result in hybridized words or words with multiple meanings. Additionally, the text mentions the concept of "double-its," where a word is borrowed into two different languages through different routes, resulting in slightly different forms of the word. Finally, the author apologizes for any pronunciation mistakes they made while speaking Spanish or using non-English words in the video.
