معنی
To experience stress or demands from a situation.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Leistungsgesellschaft' (achievement society) means that being 'unter Druck' is often discussed as a badge of hard work, but also a health concern. Swiss work culture is highly precise. 'Zeitdruck' (time pressure) is taken very seriously due to the cultural value of punctuality. In Vienna, there is a concept called 'Gemütlichkeit' which is the opposite of 'unter Druck stehen'. People often complain about pressure to emphasize how much they value their coffee breaks. The phrase is increasingly used in the context of 'Burnout-Prävention' (burnout prevention) in German-speaking HR departments.
Use Adjectives
To sound more like a native, add adjectives: 'zeitlich', 'finanziell', 'enorm', 'gewaltig'.
Verb Choice
Never use 'sein'. It is the most common mistake for English speakers. Always 'stehen'.
