But I also think that the polish word "filiżanka" derived from the arabic word finjaan ( فنجان ). It is not very similar but a little bit. :P It means cup. :) We say Socker for sugar in swedish. It is more similar to the arabic word than the word sugar. We pronunce it Sokker. :) I already knew that Alcohol, Sugar and Algebra were arabic loan words in english.

I recently read about something called the sun- and moon letters so I was just wondering what is more correct to say. Should the L in Al be pronounced or not when Al is followed by a taa? Thankful for an explanation. :) Wonderful lesson! Shouldn’t AL in Al-Tārīḫ be pronunced as At-Tārīḫ instead?

Oh Petiteclaire, another one of my favourites is "échec et mat" (checkmate) from the Arabic "ash-shaykh maat" which means "the king died." Uhmm...what else? You guys are good …! :smile:
