Germans are speaking Denglish – by borrowing words from us

Fed up with unwieldy compound nouns, younger Germans are turning increasingly to catchy English words

Name: Denglish.

AKA: Germlish, Angleutsch.

Appearance: English, surrounded by German.

Something to do with Dunkirk? No, something to do with foreign languages.

Ooh, I just felt a little part of my brain die. It's about the increasing use of English words by German speakers.

In that case, tell me more. Some fear it will ultimately lead to a kind of hybrid German-English.nd nouns, younger Germans are turning increasingly to catchy English words
