WORD FORMATION

Is the method by which words are formed.

BORROWING

Borrowing is talking about words from other languages. Many languages borrow from English.

Today's English is also one of the main donor languages, the main source of loans for many other languages. (RICHARD NORDQUIST 2019)

EXAMPLES

Ketchup (CHINESE) Opera, spaghetti, macaroni (Italian) Hamburger - iceberg (german) karaoke tsunami sushi origami karate (Japanese) Yoga Shampo (indian) Yogurt (turkish) Sandwich (English)

COMPOUNDING

When we use compounding, we link together two or more bases to create a new word. Normally, the first item identifies a key feature of the second word

Open Compound Words

Ice cream (helado) Post office (oficina de correos) Middle Class (clase media)

Closed Compound Words

Notebook (Cuaderno) Fireworks (fuegos artificiales) Sunflower (girasol)

Hyphenated compound words

In general, these words are adjectives, that is, they serve to qualify a noun. But it is clear that there are exceptions, such as“son-in-law”.
