After Germany, let us move on to another neighboring country of England, that is Spain. The moment I typed Spain and England in the search engine, a list of centuries of periodical war appeared under the name of Anglo Spanish War. Naval invasions were common between these two. Armada is the Spanish and Portuguese word for naval fleet, which also adopted into English. Now its clear that the political conditions too affect the word intake for a language.
One more word Guerrilla
In Spanish, this word literally means “little war.” This means an unofficial group of people fighting the government. In English, it’s most commonly used as an adjective “guerrilla warfare” or “guerrilla marketing.”
Guerrilla marketing is an advertisement strategy. Its concept is designed to promote products or services in an unconventional way with little amount to spend.
Macho
This word describes a person who is strong or masculine. This word also describes the attitude of a person's arrogance about his manhood.
Patio
in Spanish is equivalent to the portico of English. This refers to the area outside a house that accommodates a table and some chairs. But there wont be roof to cover them.
More from Spain
Plaza
Previously referred to an open area used by the people in general in a city.
Presently used as a compound noun as it is attached with the names of many shopping malls and corporate building areas.
Siesta
This word is a synonym for nap in English.
This refers to that short period of sleep one takes in the middle of the day, especially after lunch. The intense heat of summer encourages people to take siestas in the noon in hot countries.
This applies to our Indian climate as well!
