Week 3 Review
For this week's review I chose a post from today's announcement. The post is titled Indian Words in English and the word was Yoga. I chose to read more about this because I actually really like to do yoga in my free time. It's extremely relaxing and is also a workout. I used to do it more often but sadly haven't for a while. From this post I learned that "yoga" from the Indo-European root yeug- "is also the root of English words like 'yoke' and also 'join.'" and also that "yogi," in Sanskrit, is a man who practices yoga. It was definitely an interesting read and I'm glad I learned more about the word.
