tofu 일본어 유래 맞습니다. ginseng 도 역사적으로 일본어 유래가 맞습니다. 중국말로 두부가 토푸라고 하면 중국인이 웃습니다.
남의 말에 지적을 하려면 아는 척하기 전에 한 번 찾아보는 것이 좋습니다.
The English word "tofu" comes from Japanese tōfu (豆腐). The Japanese tofu, in turn, is a borrowing of Chinese 豆腐 (Mandarin: dòufǔ; tou4-fu) 'bean curd, bean ferment'.
The English word ginseng derives from the Chinese term rénshēn (simplified: 人参; traditional: 人蔘), literally "man root" (referring to the root's characteristic forked shape, resembling the legs of a man). The difference between rénshēn and "ginseng" is explained by the fact that the English pronunciation derives from a Japanese reading of these Chinese characters. However, the current Japanese word for these characters 人参 (ninjin) means carrot, and ginseng is referred to in Japanese as 朝鮮人参 (chosen ninjin).
