The new version contains 135,000 words, including many new words that an English-speaker would find familiar, several inspired by the financial crisis and a few that reflect 21st-century life, such as “twittern†– to twitter.
Germans can now officially have “der Babyblues†and go to “eine After-Show-Party,†– while hoping that it is not “eine No-Go Areaâ€.
“Der Nickname†and “Das It-Girl†are other new German words taken from English that have found their way into the language of Goethe.
