    I come from a Germanic colony in Brazil, and while the language has been mostly genocided out, people still sometimes drop random German words in the middle of Portuguese, or mix Portuguese words with some German grammar.
    My mother when younger visited Germany and got confused looks from the family hosting her by asking where was the “lixolatte” (“lata de lixo” is the Portuguese for garbage can)
