If I use certain elements of a culture or language, how different should they be compared to the original? How different should the language used to reference those elements be? Examples: - Can I use a culture specific dish like sushi and call it sushi to describe the cuisine of my fictional culture? - In the Swedish language there are no gender specific words for professions. if I use that tidbit to create a culture and use the same words as in Swedish, Will I savaged by critics? Will I be accused of cultural appropriation?
