covidiot or „covidiot“ Definition from News portal Hlavny dennik: „Covidioti“ sú napríklad ľudia, ktorí ignorujú upozornenia a nariadenia vlády – predovšetkým sociálnu izoláciu a hygienické opatrenia, ktorých cieľom je spomaliť šírenie vírusu. Example sentence(s):
Explanation: Since the term is very new, does not appear in an official Slovak dictionary and is taken from English (although the name of the disease - COVID-19 - and idiot, that the term is made up of, are used in Slovak in the same form as in English), apostrophes may be used before and after the term in line with Slovak grammar rules to point out this fact. This is the way it is used by some authors, such as: V súvislosti s konaním niektorých ľudí vznikol na sociálnych sieťach nový výraz „covidiot“. „Covidioti“ sú napríklad ľudia, ktorí ignorujú upozornenia a nariadenia vlády – predovšetkým sociálnu izoláciu a hygienické opatrenia, ktorých cieľom je spomaliť šírenie vírusu. http://www.hlavnydennik.sk/2020/04/06/viete-kto-su-covidioti... |
