Usually its like just a few words sprinkled in, or at most like one or two lines…

Literally I feel like they’re just trying to say: “Hey this is a foreign language I’m sooo cooool!”

    Like we’re going to give them back at some point.

    You might, actually. It’s called reborrowing or repatriated loans, where a language borrows a word from another language that was itself a loanword from the initial language. English doesn’t seem to have many examples of these but there are many examples where English borrowed and then “returned” a word.
