Husband: do you know what 사라다 means?

I didn’t know, but it sounded like a verb. A flow of unrelated verbs start popping into my head: 사다, 살다, 살리다, 사라지다…

Husband: it comes from Japanese.

さらだ? All of a sudden, this word sounded more like a loanword than a verb! サラダ = salada (from Portuguese).

So in Korean there are two words: 샐러드 is the general word for “salad” and 사라다 refers to “Japanese style salad” with fruits, vegetables, nuts and mayonnaise.
