Do you know some random foreign words?

It's been asked several times if you know more than a language, and if you can speak it fluently. People who can speak several languages (I mean 4 or 5 of them, not only 2) are rare, while everybody knows some random words.

Like for example many people do know how to say (and write)
Merci and Vichy fraise (French)
Ciao and Arrivederci (Italian)
Corazón and Hacienda (Spanish)
Arigatô and Sayonara (Japanese)

and many other banal words picked here and there from many sources. Why don't you write here your random words from languages you absolutely don't know
