Nyord 2025

 

Två Tiktok-flyktingar?

Jag tror bestämt att 2025 just fick sitt första nyord: Tiktok-flykting. Rubriken är förresten missvisande.

Amerikanska Tiktok-flyktingar söker skydd i Kina

  3. Star Trek universal translator? Haven´t checked, but last time I asked Google to translate Chinese into English, the results were...strange. Probably because Chinese grammar and metaphors are completely alien to an English- or Swedish-speaker. The only thing I understood was "the foreigner is funny" (meaning me)?!
