Words Without Borders - E65

Have you ever paused to think about how many of the words we use every day weren’t originally English?

From karma to déjà vu, wanderlust to bungalow, each word carries a passport stamped with history, travel, and culture. In this episode, we trace how language travels—crossing oceans, cultures, and time—to remind us that communication is the ultimate connector.

Join Vineeta Khanna as she unpacks how words shape the way we see the world and how English, in all its borrowed beauty, has become a mosaic of human expression.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

- How English became a collector of words and stories from every corner of the globe.

- Why languages like French, Sanskrit, Arabic, and Japanese continue to echo in our daily speech.

- The fascinating origins of familiar words like pyjamas, guru, tsunami, safari, and robot.

- What untranslatable words like hygge and ikigai tell us about the human experience.

- Why language is not just about communication—but about connection, emotion, and identity.

Each word we speak carries a piece of shared history. It’s not just vocabulary—it’s a reminder of how cultures meet, influence, and enrich one another.

At OATS UNCUT!, every episode is a reminder that communication isn’t about perfection—it’s about understanding, empathy, and exchange. Through real stories and honest conversations, we celebrate how language empowers connection and gives voice to what makes us human.

✨ Tune in, reflect, and rediscover the beauty of words that connect us all.
