What are some loanwords (originated in another language and usually retains original spelling in equivalent english) for concepts, things, or experiences that English doesnt necessarily have yet? (sopuli.xyz)

If you could, please format it

WORD, DEFINITION

I want to add them to a flashcard deck for myself, I casually collect loanwords and have been getting turned on to trying out csv/flashcards lately haha

Feel free to do the same, if the format is followed you can just copy and paste it to a new line of the csv deck

Portuguese:

Cafuné: the act of caressing someone's hair.

Xodó: a name for one's favorite someone (like a teacher's favorite student, a grandma's favorite grandson...)

Xará: someone who shares the same name as you.
