Wort des Jahres 2011
posted 5 months ago
Every year, the Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache (society of German language) announces the “word of the year”.
Today, 2011’s word was presented: STRESSTEST (masc.) I guess there’s no translation needed ;)
Usually, it’s a term that can be found in medical science. However, since this year Germany’s politicians have been under some serious stress (for various reasons), “Stresstest” has been used many times.
What’s your personal word of the year (English or German)?
