Word of the Week: ŠTRIH-KOD - ШТРИХ-КОД

14/4/2014

Picture
This week's term is courtesy of my colleague Alexander Drechsel, who thankfully even provided me with the picture to go with it. What you see here is the 2007 "barcode building" in St. Petersburg, Russia, by Vitruvius and Sons Studio. In Russian, it's called штрих код (usually spelled штрих-код or штрихкод, "shtrikh-kod"), which is the Russian version of the German Strichcode. Funny enough, while the Russians use a word of German origin, more and more Germans seem to prefer Barcode to Strichcode.

Liebe Frau Priebe,
Sie wissen, ich lese mit großem Interesse Ihren Blog. Nur: gibt es auch Beispiele aus anderen Sprachen denn aus dem Russischen?
Liebe Grüße
