Find out what "Zeitgeist" means

What a brilliant and seemly word the Robots have appointed :) Kudos!!

zeitgeist |ˈtsītˌgīst; ˈzīt-|
noun [in sing. ]
the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time : the story captured the zeitgeist of the late 1960s.
ORIGIN mid 19th cent.: from German Zeitgeist, from Zeit ‘time’ + Geist ‘spirit’

This is the kind of toll you can use to find anything and everything. I use it to find programming code when i am too lazy to write it but that i do to use some advanced programming function in access. And guess what, i just used it once again today to figure this goal out ! “spirit of the time”

that’s a pretty easy one…
just type “zeitgeist” into any search engine.
It’s a German term that means “spirit of the age”.

Ever since iv wondered about the word but never thought to look it up … thanks folks not only have u posted the meaning but u taught me a valuable lesson that I have the power of the internet to learn many new and unknown things and i dont use it fully.

Wonder what/who/why was 43 things started ? Is it the same as the movie pay it forward ? Who thought of this ? Why did they do it ? How do they get paid ? do they have any idea of the 10 fold return for helping so many people ? Is that why they did it ?

so many questions…..

“The spirit of the time.” Interesting…I’ve always wondered what it meant.

43 things is spreading the word about ghosts of words. and words spread the words about words better than anything else, so 43 things is saving the words. i wouldn’t put it past them.

You learn something new everyday. The ‘zeitgeist’ at the moment in my house is to leave all your dirty washing around for me to clean up. hmmmph.
