A little help over here?!
Question: This one' s addressed to non-native speakers of English.
I need you now to say something you would normally using loanwords (words that have been borrowed from other languages by English like "sombrero"), blends (like motor+hotel=motel), functional conversion (using nouns as verbs like saying elbowing someone), acronyms (TV instead of saying television) and clips (pants instead of pantaloons)
Using any of these or all of them if you can and make a statement, say whatever you feel like.
Please say what your mother tongue is.
Thank you so much to all of you!
