   @matrix igirisu? you mean eigo? or just ei? Or it's supposed to be "ingurando" i.e. england?

     @hj @matrix That's how it's usually called in japanese, yeah (some historical linguistic mess probably)
     
     for eigo the "go" part means "language"

     @hj @matrix eigo is the language. The Japanese just name UK/British stuff "English" quite like we'd say "anglo".

     @hj @matrix Also Wiktionary says igirisu comes from Inglês (Portuguese), explains why it's quite awkward.

     @lanodan ね (at the end of a sentence) also reportedly comes from Portuguese “não é” which is cursed @matrix @hj

     @picandor @matrix @hj Or well probably the "né" contraction of it, which makes sense, usually loan words are from how they're the most popularly used.
     
     Imagine if Japanese would have grabbed "innit" though :D
