Diaspora Language

[Methmatician]

Those of you living in the diaspora who speak the language of your people have you come across words that were taken from the new language and incorporated into your native language? English examples:

Italian

• Carro (from car) - Macchina, Auto

Serbo-Croatian

• Praktisiranje (From practise) - V(j)ežbanje I'm not sure if this one came form the diaspora or from native speakers in ex-Yugoslavia.

Russian

• Хайлайфист (Xajlajfist) (From high-lifer; someone who lives and extravagant lifestyle) - Not sure of the Russian equivalent.
• Крезанутый (Krezanutyj) (From crazy) - Сумасшедший (Sumasšedšij), Безумный (Bezumnyj)

Anyone got any others?

Carro is not taken from Car, both words come from Latin "Carrus" (cart, wagon, chariot)

the Italian Carro has the same meaning of the Latin "Carrus", while Car is translated with Macchina, Auto, Autovettura, Automobile

In Australia Italians sometimes say 'carro' instead of 'macchina' or 'auto'. Is it the same in Italy?

I think Latin-Americans use to say Carro for Car, not in Italy, Carro only means, cart, wagon, chariot
