Language is, of course, constantly changing and cultures borrow words from
other cultures.. Ever wonder what the words "cootie", "poontang", and
"boondock" have in common? Hint: they are all imported words and probably
date from the period 1898 - 1940.
Words are categories that sum up everything we know about an object.. In
English we use the term "uncle" to describe a position in the kinship system
and the rights and duties associated with it. but in Chinese, there is no
such social location as "uncle" - rather there is "mother's elder brother",
"father's elder brother" - with a single word to describe it and each has
different rights and obligations attached.
Benjamin Lee Whorf was on to something.

Barry: I grew up in the Northeast and have a survival Yiddish vocabulary.
I've yet to see any of it in the literature. Hell, half of my Yiddish would
get me banned.

More exactly. Yiddish version of the original Hebrew word. Nachat (in
Israeli pronunciation), nachas (in East European pronunciation). A
common translation as a noun: satisfaction (as in "Can't get no
nachas"). More colloquially, pleasure.
