New 2019 entries

Chatbot, liker and °ù²¹²Ôç´Ç²Ô²µ¾±³¦¾±±ð±ô are among new French words to join Le Petit Larousse Illustré and Le Petit Robert dictionaries for 2019.
G°ù´Ç²õ²õ´Ç±è³ó´Ç²ú¾±±ð, marcheur, démoÂcrature and Fiché S also make an appearance.
PSG footballer Neymar and ISS astronaut Thomas Pesquet join as new personalities.
Chatbot and liker are simple to work out but °ù²¹²Ôç´Ç²Ô²µ¾±³¦¾±±ð±ô is ransomware, and grossophobie is prejudice against the overÂweight. Marcheur is a Macron supporter (from his party En Marche!) and »åé³¾´Ç³¦°ù²¹³Ù³Ü°ù±ð is a democracy run like a dictatorship. Fiché S is a person on a file of possible security risks.
Dining also created ‘new’ words with ristretto, pavlova and sauce barbecue as well as ²ú¾±Ã©°ù´Ç±ô´Ç²µ¾±±ð, beer tasting science.
