When my fiancée is writing something on her computer, I usually remind her saying: “Remember to “savettaa”. “Savettaa” is Finnish and it means “to save”. Finnish = English?

Nowadays, our lexicon of language is heavily influenced of the globalization. This leads to borrowings from other languages like English. Maybe the Internet makes this adaptation easier. We can easily copy & paste -words and concepts on the Web for our own purposes.

Some linguistics are arguing that loan words from for example English are harmful phenomena. It will destroy the real characteristic of the language.

Personally I think the borrowings are enriching our languages. You can trace root of some English words to the languages. Without the influence of Finnish tradition, there is not word “sauna” in English. In addition the people of France don´t talk about “le sauna”.

By the way, sauna is a small room used as a hot-air or steam bath for cleaning and refreshing the body.
