    On dit aussi beaucoup une capacité ou simplement une capa Pas sur si c’est un angliscisme ou une norme qui évolué

    We also say capacité, or simply capa, I am not sure whether it’s borrowed from English, or whether the official terminology evolved

      Je dis “capaciteur” parfois mais je suis pas mal certain que c’est un anglicisme effectivement

    Yes, most of people say condensador but I between engineers/technicians in Hispanic America we use both terms depending on the system (condensador for high voltage and capacitor for low voltage).

  So, that’s where Finnish borrowed that word… like so many other words too. Perhaps calling it borrowing isn’t entirely fair, since this thing has been going on for so long and it’s been really extensive. Sort of like the way the British Museum “borrowed” a significant part of their collection from somewhere else.
