Time's running out to join the Lingoda Language Marathon. The word Schwärmerei is related to the word Schwarm, which is primarily used in the German language to describe a group of fish, birds, or insects – a swarm or a flock. The word Schwärmer evolved to the verb schwärmen to describe “to be enthusiastic about something, far away from reality”. The word Schwärmerei or schwärmen isn’t used for describing spiritualists that often – it’s more used to describe a slight obsession with a person. Join the Lingoda Language Marathon today.
