[Bear in mind that "Chinese" refers to a group of dialects--Mandarin, Cantonese, and others; A particular word that made its way into English may be from one of these, or may have varying sounds in forms of Chinese.]

- Several food words, including "bok choy" and "moo go gai pan."

- "Gung ho," which means "work well" in Chinese but in English now refers to an enthusiastic member of a workforce, especially the military.

- "Shanghai," the name of a Chinese city, but sometimes used in English to mean "kidnap."

- "Tai chi," meaning something on the order of "big energy."
