According to Using Korean: a guide to contemporary usage, the Korean words really meaning something like "soft plastic" and "hard plastic", respectively. So "plastic bag" would most commonly correspond to 비닐봉지 /pinilpongci/ in Korean.

Probably two. The Dutch Wikipedia article for vuistje begins with the words: "Het vuistje, boks of fistbump, is een informele begroeting..."

Two indeed, they're synonyms

um black-power
an afro (haircut)

um cover
a double, a doppleganger

"Cover" in English is used in reference to music to mean a version of a song performed by a different artist to the original one, in Portuguese they've sort of extended that to portraying an actual person. They have their own word for this already - sósia - but hey, English sounds sophisticated I guess...

화이팅! hwaiting! / 파이팅! paiting! - good luck, go (for it; also used in sports games)
ファイト faito - fight, competitive (especially boxing) match, fighting spirit in sports, go for it, don't give up, take heart

[jɛsˈtiɖi] in Malayalam at least means a regular phone call (as opposed to a collect call), from the term standard trunk dialing. Probably not used much these days given the proliferation of cell phones at the beginning of the century.

At first I was like wtf is yestidi? Then I remembered S is pronounced yes in Mayalayam Malayalam.

So it doesn't mean sexually transmitted disease?

Some people are familiar with that use of the term nowadays, but everyone at least used to know it to mean simply 'phone call'. I think it's still possible to find phone booths all over India with "STD" written in big letters on the side (usually vertically).

This -s infix has generalised to recent foreign loans in general: Latynosi, naczosy, czipsy... and in some cases (probably having to do with avoiding the vowel ending) it is carried back into the singular - on jest Latynosem.

How does standard become [jɛsˈtiɖi]?

It doesn't, sorry. It's an abbreviation.

Standard Trunk Dialing -> STD -> [jɛsˈtiɖi]

Subscriber, not standard.

Both exist, and standard is the one I encountered first. AFAICT there isn't a difference between standard trunk dialing and subscriber trunk dialing.

서비스 < service

In addition to meaning "service" in the general sense, 서비스 can also have the specific meaning of "something provided for free", e.g. 이 커피는 서비스 입니다. lit. "This coffee is a service" = "This coffee is on the house."
