Loanwords from Japanese Loanwords in Palau.

Today I searched for what language is spoken in Palau.
While searching it in Wikipedia, I found something very interesting.

The official languages in Palau is are Palauan and English.
I found that there are so many loanwords in Palauan and some are from Japanese.

It's because during WWⅠ, Japan annexed the island and the League of Nations placed the island under Japanese administration. (The U.S. captured it from Japan in 1944 though.)
So some older Palauans still can still speak in Japanese because Japan provided Japanese language education as soon as Japan they took over the islands.

I am going to introduce some Palauan loanwords from Japanese to you.
① English: Drink a beer.
Palauan: Tsukare naosu.
("Tsukare naosu(疲れ治す)" means "fix one's fatigue" in Japanese.
It can be considered that Some Japanese said say "Tsukare naosu" while drinking a beer.)
②English: That complicates.
Palauan: Atama guruguru(頭ｸﾞﾙｸﾞﾙ).
(Which means "that complicates" in Japanese but it's not common for us to use the expression in our daily
lives becasue it sounds a little childlish for Japanese. Instead of it, we say "Konransuru(混乱する)" .
Kids might use "Atama guruguru" instead of "Konransuru".)

How interesting! I have never heard of Palau before.
