English has a lot of words! This may be true, but many of the words you consider to be English are actually borrowed from other languages. I and we are among some of the oldest English words, but many other words originate from other languages around the world. In fact, there are probably some English words that came from your native language....
Here are some examples... and my favorite choice...
waltz: a type of formal dance (origin: German)
very: in a high degree, used for emphasis... (origin: Old French "verai", meaning "true")
zero: no quantity or number (origin: Arabic)
war: armed conflict (origin: Old French "werre")
