ninja
🥷 ninja = Japanese 忍者 (shinobi no mono), 'one who stealths'; Spanish says NEEN-ha
Spanish borrowed it from Japanese 忍者, 'person who endures or conceals'. Note the Spanish j is a throaty h-sound, so it is NEEN-ha, not the English NIN-juh. Same form for masculine and feminine: el ninja, la ninja.
