persa: Demonym of Persia (present-day Iran) .
británico: In principle it is gentilicio and relative to the ancient region of Britannia, but today it is used for Great Britain (main island of the United Kingdom).
turco: 1º_ Gentilicio of Turkey, relative to that country and its culture. In Latin America (especially in Argentina where we are too brute to generalize) the nickname 'Turkish' is applied to anyone with origin in the Near and Middle East, especially if they are Muslims and except for Jews. 2º_ In joking form, in some regions of Spain and America it is called 'Turkish' to the pure wine, without lowering with water, because it is not baptized. By extension, also to the drunk; and 'Turkish' to drunkenness.
tos convulsa: Also called convulsive cough or pertussis, it is a disease that produces a strong cough, with seizures. See convulsive.

tullu chaki: It is evidently Quechua, and not Spanish. Also, to me it sounds chaki tullu ("femur"), but since it is a composite voice and my knowledge of runasimi is very poor, it may be said both ways, and I don't know. It is formed by Quechua/tullu ("bone, skeleton", by affinity "skinny", by similarity "stem of vegetables") and Quechua/chaki ("leg of animal, foot").
engagement: It is not Spanish but English, although they surely found some marketing use in marketing. See English/engagement ( "commitment" ) .
gebrüder: It is not Spanish, nor is it used in our language. See German/gebrüder ("group of brothers") , German/ge- ( prefix "union, grouping" ) , German/bruder ( "brother") .
accommodation: It's clearly not Spanish, nor do I think it's used (although you still hear that amenity 129300; ) . See english/accommodation ( "accommodation" ) .
family: It is not Spanish but English. See english/family .
horribilis: It is not Spanish but Latin, where horribilis means "horrendous, terrible". See annus horribilis, annus mirabilis.
deern: It is not Spanish, so the consultation had to be done in German/deern ("girl, girl").
kosinäq: And , it's not Spanish. It's Mayan, but around here we don't have a Kaqchikel dictionary. Although it shouldn't, I can comment that kosinäq means "tired, tired", and comes from a perfective participle of the verb kos ("to get tired, to get tired") with its ending inaq.
yahoo: It is a voice that means "rough, uneducated, unskilled person." It comes from Jonathan Swift's novel Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World, in Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver , First a Surgeon , and then a Captain of Several Ships . ("Travels through some remote nations of the world, in four parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, first a surgeon and then a captain of several ships. " ) , where the yahoos are characters who are described in the last part as beings similar to humans but who lost all trait of civilization, maintaining their worst instincts, and who are used as domestic animals by a breed of cultured and intelligent horses. Although after living with horses, Gulliver's entire eighteenth-century society became similar to a yahoo group.
