I’ve been meaning to find out how you say “aka” (also known as) in german. I actually heard someone use it recently but i looked it up in duden and dwds and couldn’t find it so i guess the person speaking was throwing in the odd english word.
Do you know aka as something used commonly and what alternatives are there?
To me, “aka” is common and I didn’t think of it as an import from English, even though it is.
The German option would be “auch bekannt als” or “auch X genannt”
