Lets pick few languages, not even all of them; just a few and then put them in a washing machine with the water running into it. What would be the out put of this Language Whirlpool?
While traveling its exciting to know how two different languages have same words with different meaning. Its even more exciting to realise that words in two different languages not only sound similar but also have the similar meaning.
For example sympatico in Portuguese mean nice where in sympathetic in English is used to show concern to someone.
On the contrary chave means keys in Portuguese and in Hindi its Chabi for keys.
All these twists and turns, similarities and differences gives reason for confusion, curiosity and also lot of smile.
