I'm watching these videos to prepare for my English exam and I found them very useful. These contents are sooo valuable, thank you for all the information you shared with us. I'd like to have a teacher like you in my university!
Thank you so much for your comprehensive lectures. They are very valuable for my studies - and it's the first time that I entirely understand linguistic lectures. Please go on doing these videos.
@@MartinHilpert I admit that I didn't research this, so it is speculation. However, I am aware of another very similar-sounding term (it is old-fashioned and very racist) that was used to describe people from Africa, which was also derived from the same Portuguese word. By the way, really interesting series of videos, thanks a lot for sharing them!
You are on the right track. There's a comment on Portuguese words on the Wikipedia page for Nigerian Pidgin, and 'pikin' is included: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Pidgin
