Are you feeling Coronam?der (coronatired) from all the virusangst (virus angst) and Zoomfatigue (Zoom fatigue)? You?re not alone.
COVID-19 has dramatically changed the way we live and feel. It?s also brought some big changes to the language we use, not least in Germany where over 1,200 words have recently been coined to describe the strange reality of living through the pandemic.
The Leibniz Institute for the German Language, an organization that documents the ever-changing German language, has compiled a lengthy list of all the new words that have entered the lexicon of Germans since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
