The [[Czech language|Czech]] word {{lang|cs|[[wikt:robot|robot]]}} is now found in most languages worldwide, and the word ''[[pistol]]'', probably also from Czech,{{sfn|Titz|1922}} is found in many European languages.

A well-known Slavic word in almost all European languages is [[vodka]], a borrowing from Russian {{lang|ru|водка}} ({{Transliteration|ru|vodka}}, {{lit|little water}}), from common Slavic {{lang|sla|voda}} ('[[water]]', [[cognate]] to the English word ''water'') with the [[diminutive]] ending {{lang|sla|-ka}}.{{sfn|Merriam-Webster}}{{efn|{{OEtymD|vodka|accessdate = 18 May 2007}}}} Owing to the medieval [[fur trade]] with Northern Russia, Pan-European loans from Russian include such familiar words as ''[[sable]]''.{{efn|{{OEtymD|sable|accessdate = 18 May 2007}}}} The English word "[[vampire]]" was borrowed (perhaps via [[French language|French]] {{lang|fr|vampire}}) from [[German language|German]] {{lang|de|Vampir}}, in turn derived from Serbo-Croatian {{lang|sh-cyrl|вампир}} ({{Transliteration|sh|vampir}}), continuing [[Proto-Slavic language|Proto-Slavic]] {{lang|sla|*ǫpyrь}},{{sfn|Wörterbuchnetz|2023}}{{sfn|Dauzat|1938}}{{sfn|Pfeifer|2006}}{{sfn|Skok|1974}}{{sfn|Tokarev|1982}}{{sfn|Vasmer|1953}}{{efn|{{OEtymD|vampire|accessdate = 21 September 2007}}}} although [[Poland|Polish]] scholar K. Stachowski has argued that the origin of the word is early Slavic {{lang|sla|*vąpěrь}}, going back to Turkic {{lang|trk|oobyr}}.{{sfn|Stachowski|2005}}

Several European languages, including [[English language|English]], have borrowed the word {{lang|zls|[[polje]]}} (meaning 'large, flat plain') directly from the former [[Yugoslavia|Yugoslav]] languages (i.e. [[Slovene language|Slovene]] and [[Serbo-Croatian]]). During the heyday of the [[USSR]] in the 20th century, many more Russian words became known worldwide: {{Transliteration|ru|da}}, ''[[Soviet Union|Soviet]]'', {{Transliteration|ru|[[Sputnik 1|sputnik]]}}, {{Transliteration|ru|[[perestroika]]}}, {{Transliteration|ru|[[glasnost]]}}, {{Transliteration|ru|[[kolkhoz]]}}, etc. Another borrowed Russian term is {{Transliteration|ru|[[samovar]]}} ({{lit|self-boiling}}).
