Juice vs Einfluss
influence
'der Einfluss' and 'der Juice' can both have to do with power, status, or an effect on others. 'Einfluss' is the normal word and fits in everyday life, work, politics, or the media. 'Juice' is youth and slang language. It more often means that someone has status, energy, or credibility, especially in groups or on social media. 'Einfluss' is more neutral and suitable in almost all situations. 'Juice' sounds casual and does not fit well in formal conversations.
