I’m not sure.
Greek is a very rich language.
But English is very productive.
New words all the time.

English is a phonetic language. Feel like the constant nicotine is not good for my mental states. And I m not getting enough fresh air. Because I smoke in the apt.

There are people of letters who defend the French language because it tends to fade away in front of English.
That said, there are a lot of English terms that are used, especially in business and in everything that is computer/internet etc.

I mean there are purists of the French language but they are a minority. Most people don’t care and don’t pay attention to that.

Something that makes everyone here laugh is that for example 6 months after an English word appears. (for example “cloud” “cloud computing”) there are “experts” who decide to use the French word, here “nuage” when nobody will use it.

The French language creates own words instead of copying the English word.

Computer = ordinateur
Email = courriel
And so on

Here in France everyone says email (but we say “ordinateur”.)
Then yes, it depends on the French speaking country.
I think you are in Belgium?
