Here are some of my favorite examples:
*Upgegraded
*Downgeloaded
*Strugglend
*Gehandikapped
*Grillen
*Skypen
*Messagen
*Texten
*Hottie
*Insider
More to come. I'm always picking up new bits of Berlingo...sometimes more than real German, I think.
When I moved to Germany, I thought the only language I was going to learn was German. It turns out I am also learning a fun secondary language: Denglish, a lovely mixture of Deutsch and English. Mixing Germanified English words into conversation seems to be a favorite pastime of many Berilners, so I like to think I speak a particular dialect of Denglish, which I will call Berlingo.
