What with Covid-19 decimating the population in my country, I notice people at my work talk almost daily about topics relating to or involving death. Because I am interested in how language works, I always pay attention to how my colleagues circumvent having to say "died" or "death".
Much to my surprise, I seem to have no problem in calling death by its name, but my co-workers do.
I am curious to hear how you guys feel about the word "death". Can you use it in conversation? Or does it make you feel uncomfortable?
Do you perhaps prefer euphemisms? If so, which ones?
