Have you ever heard a song that you can’t seem to shake? It plays in your head over and over again all day long and you find yourself humming it or singing the words out of the blue? That’s an Ohrwurm or “ear-worm.” It comes from the combination of “storm” and “free.” 3.

It describes the sense of freedom you get at having the place all to yourself. You’ve felt Sturmfrei the moment your parents or flatmates left you alone in your house. It’s quite similar to the “mid-life crisis.” It is the sudden realization that you need to do something with your life because it will not last forever. And it doesn’t have to slip in at old age either. This word combines “gate-shut-panic” to illustrate the feeling you get when you realize that you’re suddenly getting older, and you don’t have much time left. Luckily, that won’t be hard with how unique (and sometimes hilarious) they can be. That means that you’ll need to commit them to memory. Still, there is no English equivalent to these untranslatable German words. Probably without even knowing realizing that they reflect German culture and thinking.
