Good thing I live on a private golf course, and I bought the rights to the area within my 360; cuz St Paddy's day is a thing here...

 

Much drunken-ness going on here...drunks floating about...I'll pick the hotties...

 

Cheers,

Don't think so, those are describing a thing you don't have a name for in your language. Most languages today borrow a foreign word instead (icelandic is the exception), until 10-20 years ago it was french which was the main source for new words in Thailand, now it's english. Older thai ladies don't use butterfly describing me and some other guys, they say papillon.

 

Most languages around the world have for example 2 polynesian words included in the vocabulary - tatoo and taboo. Your examples are more like say

"lasting painting on skin with needle"

"thing which is holy and can't be touched"

and as of the last 5 years or so, a third, "wiki" (as in Wikipedia), which is "fast" in hawaiian.
