Guess where each word come from

by Melibea Chaparro Becerra
1 Chocolate 2 Kindergarten 3 Piano 4 Entrepreneur 5 Mosquito 6 Parka 7 Geyser 8 Karaoke 9 Shampoo 10 Kangaroo

Explanation

The word "chocolate" comes from the Nahuatl word xocolatl, which means "bitter water" or "acid water". The Nahuatl language was spoken by the Aztecs, an ancient people of Mexico.

The word "kindergarten" comes from the German words kinder ("children") and garten ("garden").

This comes from the Italian phrase "gravicembalo col piano e forte."

The word “entrepreneur” comes from the French word entreprendre, which means “to undertake” or “to do something”.

The Spanish called the mosquitoes, "musketas," and the native Hispanic Americans called them "zancudos." "Mosquito" is a Spanish or Portuguese word meaning "little fly"

The word "parka" comes from the Nenets language, which is spoken by the Indigenous Peoples of Northwest Siberia. In Nenets, "parka" means "animal skin".

The word “geyser” comes from the Icelandic word geysir, which means “to gush” or “to rage”.

The word "karaoke" comes from the Japanese words "kara" meaning "empty" and "okesutora" meaning "orchestra".

The word "shampoo" comes from the Hindi word cā̃pō (चाँपो), which means "to knead, press, or soothe".

The word "kangaroo" comes from the word "gangurru", which is used by the Guugu Yimidhirr people of Far North Queensland to refer to eastern grey kangaroos.
