      Actually, that’s an anglicism but the word for “farm” exists in Spanish: “granjear”. So you could say “granjear aura” but doesn’t sound cool.

      The difference with japanese is that some words don’t exist in their language so they adapt the english word to their language by transcribing the pronunciation as closely as they can with their phonems.

        Farmear is definately a loan word, like pinku. It doesn’t have the same meaning as granjear or cultivar, either.

      I kept getting asked how i would say brainrot stuff in hungarian but its usually by native speakers of english but once it was by someone from burundi wnd i was like how would you say it in kirundi and it was fun looking at her think about it for a moment 💀. Also i surprised her so much when i knew how their flag looked, where the country is located and what langauges they speak cause i memorized it for every country on earth but she was used to people literally not knowing that burundi existed. Its fun to do it with people from smaller countries.
