Hello again! After a somewhat extended winter break, Word of the Week is back. We start the year with an addition to the Russian language: штрейкбрехер ("shtreykbrekher") - a strikebreaker, from the German Streikbrecher. This term was pointed out to me by my colleague Frederike Strunk. Based on this word you might be tempted to think that the Russian for "strike" could be "shtreyk", but the Russians have a completely different word for that: забастовка (zabastovka).
