    This might not be exactly the kind of thing you’re asking, but – as an English speaker (and American) – it always surprises me just how universal the word “okay” is.

      That surprises me as well. Also “taxi.” And there are very few languages where the word for “tea” isn’t etymologically related to either “te,” “cha,” or “chai.”
