It is also the German shorthand name for carton/cardboard.
Same in Polish
Same in Spanish. Cardboard.
Yes but there it's with a C again. And an accent on the o.
It still sounds the same for any Spanish speaker. The accent it's just an stress mark. And we use the k for kilos and lots of daily words, such as kiwi or kiosko.
True, and people use "k" as short for "que" a lot :)
That's beucase people it's lazy and 'k' it's reachable with a single tap/keypress with the right hand :p
Don't use that on formal contexts, BTW.
I know, don't worry :) In fact most of the stuff I say to my friends would be a no-no in formal contexts. Spanish is such a colourful language. But thanks for the heads-up!
