Why do some primitive words in Japanese sound like English?

Karaoke, pronounced not from English, but from Japan. The word karaoke in English is a transliteration from Japanese to English, that is, the pronunciation of the English word karaoke comes from Japanese, not the other way around. Among them, "Kara" is the Japanese pronunciation of "Kong" and "OK" is the abbreviation of "Orchestra".

Chocolate, there is no such thing in Japan. As far as the Chinese word "chocolate" is concerned, it is only a transliteration of chocolate, and so is coffee.

The concept of strength is expressed by "force" in Japanese.

Element, pronounced "げんそ" in Japanese.

Energy, when reading the word "power" in Japanese, Japanese can use the word "force" to express the concept, but Japanese can't express the concept of energy. At this time, Japanese directly uses "ェネルギー".

In short, this phenomenon, except that the vocabulary really comes from English, is just like what is said upstairs: the Japanese drag English.
