What do we mean with the addition of “Begeistring” to the English language?
“Begeistring is rather beguiling!”
“I imagine that the word Begeistring is something very germanic but the feeling and meaning of the word must be universal.”
“Translated it means “our souls are filled the theme we are “begeistered about”
“How can we find good and useful synonyms for it? It tells us how we allow ourselves to be in touch with our soul in combination with enthusiasm.
“For Dutch people begeistring is a very powerful word, it means more than inspiring (leadership). So let’s introduce begeistring in English.”
