Yes. But phonetic languages phoneticise loanwords.

Ie. In Japanese the word “coffee” has bexome a loanword. But they don’t keep the unphoneticised english version. They phoneticise it to fit with their pronounciation and it becomes kohi.

(This is complicated of course by katakana and such but just an example. German tends to so the same, since it’s phonetic.)

Ie. German Kaffee from turkish kahve, or German Komputer from english computer

Small correction: Komputer is not a german word, but it might have been three or more decades ago.

Oh, interessant! Mein Deutschlehrer hatte ein Lernburn aus 1985, vielleicht ist das der Grund, warum ich es so gelernt habe.

[–] lenny@feddit.org 2 points 6 hours ago

Ja, das haut zeitlich sehr gut hin - ich bin 1989 geboren und kenne die Schreibweise mit K nicht, aber laut Wiktionary ist es wohl noch 1995 so in einem deutschen Wörterbuch abgedruckt gewesen.

Kudos to you for your german language skills 👌
