When I saw Easter eggs reduced at a nearby supermarket, that was it – I reversed my usual policy of no eggs until April and succumbed to the charms of Cadbury’s.
In effect, this was my Wendepunkt, which sounds an awful lot better in German than the English ‘turning point’. It’s used to mark a definitive change in attitude or direction by someone in a book, play, film or in general.
When you do something important, hail it as your Wendepunkt and make it sound a much more dramatic event for the dinner party or coffee shop conversation!
