Over the course of the following years, people in these new colonies began to call areas of their new land by words borrowed from the native people they found living there.For example, many of the great rivers in the United States are taken from native American words.The Mississippi, the Tennessee and the Missouri are examples.
Other native American words include “moccasin”, the kind of shoes made of animal skin that Indians wore on their feet.This borrowing or adding of foreign words to English was a way of expanding the language.The names of three days of the week are good examples of this.The people from Northern Europe honoured three gods with a special day each week for each one.The gods were Odin, Thor and Freya.Odin's Day became Wednesday in English, Thor's Day became Thursday and Freya's Day became Friday.
