Anglicism

It is called Anglicism yet idiomatic turn of the English language. The concept is often used specifically to refer to the turn or the English term what is used in another language.

Anglicisms can arise when there is no precise translation of a concept or when a translation which is not appropriate. It is common for them to be used in the technical language, although they can appear in any field, even in colloquial and everyday speech.

Rugby, for example, it is an Anglicism. This term from English was not translated into Spanish, but the English voice (linked to the school where this sport was created) became accepted in our language with the same pronunciation and the same spelling.

Continuing with rugby, many Anglicisms are used in the context of this sporting activity. Words What try, drop, scrum Y hooker they are used frequently.

Anglicisms are often unnecessary. In recent years there has been talk of take away alluding to the food to go. In this way, it is possible to hear phrases such as "This restaurant has take away" or "I bought a take away menu", when you could say "This restaurant has food to go" or "I bought a take away menu".

The same goes for the English phrase fake news. Despite its increasingly widespread use in Spanish, the correct thing to do is refer to falsified news or fake news. Even, depending on the context, it is preferable to use notions such as fallacy, hoax Or simply lie. There is no reason, in short, to resort to Anglicism.
