New words created by the pandemic such as: pandating, zumping, sexting, etc.

When it comes to human relationships, the coronavirus has changed everything from dating couples to cohabitation. A new language of love has been created for meetings, connections and separations. If you want to find love in the midst of a long isolation like this, or just to keep the relationship from fading, this writing can help you learn the language first. At the same time, this was one of the most read articles of 2020 in The Economist among 1843 articles.

The Japanese way to love

Prior to the pandemic, Japanese bachelors in search of a mate often exchanged flirtatious glances at events and other events created by dating agencies. The coronavirus outbreak has put a hurdle in face-to-face meeting, but not in the determination of lonely hearts to find love. Now that mass gatherings are banned, businesses are adjusting. A number of matchmaking firms are seeing an increase in interest from people to connect online as well. Omiai (matchmaking), as these meetings are called.

Some of the agencies have gone a step further. They are organizing 'omiai' by car, where singles flirt with each other from their cars, in the empty parking lots of wedding halls. If the meeting goes wrong they are ready to leave.

Passionate couples separated by isolation are no longer limited. They can exchange in a few seconds photos of the genitals, in addition to other text messages, with sexual content, thus leading to the creation of a completely new term such as "coronaligus" (sex during the pandemic), or "farplay" (distance sex).

The applications also adapted to the conditions. Snapchat created the ability for people to send each other images that disappear after being viewed, and added 11 million users.

Homosexual, a fan of Andrew Cuomo (name)

The allure of an eloquent politician

Andrew Cuomo, guvernator i New York-ut, ka pasur një pandemi më të mirë se shumica e liderëve politikë. Epidemiologët vlerësuan vendimin e tij të hershëm për të mbyllur New York-un. Por nuk janë vetëm shkencëtarët që e kanë vlerësuar atë. Një numër në rritje i amerikanëve të izoluar, të privuar nga seksi dhe të mbërthyer brenda duke parë lajmet kabllore, janë bërë adhurues të guvernatorit për reagimin e tij të artikuluar dhe empatik ndaj krizës: ata quhet të gjithë me një emër "Kuomoseksual".

Zumping

Shumë nga eventet kulturore, mbledhjet e punës dhe takimet e dashurisë u mbajtën në Zoom duke krijuar kështu Zumping.

Coronanoia - është paranoja e nxitur nga kushtet e izolimit - është tashmë një problem për shumë.

Kuarantinderen

Ose ndryshe të përdorësh Tinder gjatë karantinës

In recent months, Ton den Boon, editor-in-chief of Van Dale's Dutch dictionary, has compiled a list of new coronavirus-themed neologisms in Dutch. There are more than 700 words. Most are compound words such as Hoestschammte (shame you feel if you cough in public) and Quarantinderen (to use Tinder while stuck).
