Being a Jewish anglophone means every once in a while you find out that a certain sound in a word or name is supposed to be the chet/chuf (ח/כ) sound, but you learned it with the English pronunciation when you could have been pronouncing it accurately the whole time
Off the top of my head I can think of Loch Ness and the name Khalid, but there are definitely others
calque being a loanword and loanword being a calque is something that just has to be mentioned more

Oooh, look at what I came across:
The World Loanword Database
Hello! I'm sorry to bother you with this, but I have a question: At any point in mutant history, was there any mention of whether the Maximoff siblings can speak German? I've had that question stuck in my head all day.
Hey anon! You can bother me any time you like, no need to apologise. I like talking about this stuff. It's not like this question and others like it are remotely googleable either. I wish they were.
Obscure confirmation, though doppelganger has been an English loanword since the 1600s
Outside of the X-books I'm not the biggest expert on Maximoff history, except when Magneto shows up of course. To the best of my knowledge Pietro hasn't been shown speaking German on panel, though Wanda has once that I know of, in Excalibur #38, shown above. She knows at least that phrase and understood Kurt's question so I think we can take her at her word. I'd assume that would extend to Pietro too, but no confirmation.
"Is Brazilian Portuguese just sexy English?"
I love this comedian so much. And he clearly did his research for this joke, as he pronounces the words in Portuguese accurately... which just makes me more of a fan.
