Everyone knows about big news sites and laid-back chat rooms, but how often do you take a look at more in-depth content in your target language? Recently I was reading some travel blogs and book reviews in German. One thing stood out to me about the type of language that was used: I noticed that people were using a lot of German idioms<\/a> and various sayings, that are both catchy and fun. The great thing about these blogs is their interesting and I have fun<\/strong><\/a> reading them, which is important when it comes to language learning.<\/span>
\nIn today\u2019s article we\u2019ll look at ten of the more interesting or more common German sayings that might crop up in your reading. If you can work them into your everyday speech or your writing, you\u2019ll immediately come across as a more nuanced and careful user of the German language. <\/a><\/span>
\nRemember, just like English or any other language, using too many sayings is overkill. It\u2019s kind of funny to write an article like this because I end up throwing a ton of different German phrases or idioms together, completely removed of context. Knowing when to use these appropriately is of utmost importance. The best way to develop that sense is by doing lots of listening and reading of native content, just like the kind of stuff you can find on LingQ<\/a> (available for iOS<\/a> and Android<\/a>, too!).<\/span><\/p>\n

10 Must Know German Sayings\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Catchy<\/p>\n

1. Hinterher ist man immer schlauer<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

This one actually inspired the article because I saw it on two separate sites within hours of each other. Literally translated, it means \u201cAfterwards, one is always smarter.\u201d It means we learn from our mistakes. Usually this is said after a bad situation, noting that in retrospect some better choices could have been made. In English, we say \u201cHindsight is 20\/20\u201d – a completely different metaphor for expressing pretty much the same idea! <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Stille Wasser sind tief<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Literally translated, it means \u201cQuiet waters are deep.\u201d Can you guess what it means? It can describe a person or situation that appears calm and simple, but under the surface a great deal of complexity is hiding. Just because something or somebody isn\u2019t obviously demanding attention doesn\u2019t mean that there\u2019s not something else going on undetected.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Auf der Brennsuppe dahergeschwommen kommen<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

This one isn\u2019t a full phrase but rather a way to describe someone. <\/span>Die Brennsuppe<\/span><\/i> is a very simple soup, a sort of gruel made from corn or oats. So if you\u2019ve just \u201cswum here across the gruel\u201d then you\u2019ve led a very simple life thus far and can\u2019t be expected to know much. As you might have guessed already, it\u2019s just like the English \u201cto be born yesterday.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Wie ein Fels in der Brandung<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s a great way to describe someone who isn\u2019t put out in the least when things don\u2019t go their way. No matter how hard the situation gets, they stay solid and firm, like a rock jutting out of a rolling ocean. For that\u2019s the translation of this poetic phrase – <\/span>like a rock in the surf. <\/span><\/i>
\n\"Catchy<\/p>\n

5. Wie ein Schwein ins Uhrwerk schauen<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

I like this one because it\u2019s a perfect idiom to describe the feeling of looking at something complex – and not understanding a thing. Literally, it means <\/span>like a pig looking at clockwork<\/span><\/i>. I can just picture a pig staring into a Swiss clock factory with his eyes glazed over, not having the faintest idea of what\u2019s going on. In English, as far as I know, the best we can say here is <\/span>in over one\u2019s head<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Wie man in den Wald hineinruft, so schallt es heraus<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

This might be one of the oldest sayings on the list. It\u2019s attested from the Middle Ages, in beautiful Middle High German: <\/span>Swie man ze walde r\u00fcefet, dazselbe er wider g\u00fcefet.<\/span><\/i> And in English: <\/span>As one calls into the woods, so the echo returns.<\/span><\/i> It\u2019s a variation on the Golden Rule. If you shout rudely into the forest, the echo you hear will be rude words once more. But if you treat the forest – or other people – well, then they\u2019ll give you the same treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/a><\/p>\n

7. Mir nichts dir nichts<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s a really tricky one that caught me off guard the first time I read it. I must have gone over the sentence a dozen times before I thought to look it up as an idiom. Most learners know these words alone, but if you\u2019ve never seen this phrase it\u2019s quite tough to understand the meaning. Literally it means <\/span>nothing to me, nothing to you<\/span><\/i> – but that translation might make about as much sense as the German! The meaning is simple: <\/span>quickly, simply, without a fuss<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. F\u00fcr jemanden eine Lanze brechen<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Imagine you\u2019re a knight in shining armor, dueling your enemy for a cause you believe in. You level your lance – <\/span>die Lanze<\/span><\/i> – and charge! If you <\/span>break a lance for someone<\/span><\/i>, then you support them or the cause they\u2019re fighting for. <\/span>
\n\"Catchy<\/p>\n

9. Jemanden aus der Bahn bringen<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s another verb-idiom to spice up your writing, though this one happens to have a pretty good English equivalent. <\/span>Die Bahn<\/span><\/i> refers to a railway or train track, though it\u2019s a very old word and also has the meaning of <\/span>path <\/span><\/i>or <\/span>way.<\/span><\/i> So if you <\/span>take someone off the path<\/span><\/i> then you\u2019re changing the course of their plans. They were used to doing things one way, and you\u2019ve disrupted it – perhaps you\u2019ve <\/span>thrown them off track<\/span><\/i>?<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Man trifft sich immer zweimal im Leben\u00a0<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve saved one of the more complex German sayings for last. This one doesn\u2019t translate particularly well, something like <\/span>You always meet someone twice.<\/span><\/i> There are two main ways to use this phrase. First, similar to <\/span>don\u2019t burn bridges<\/span><\/i> – don\u2019t treat someone badly as you part, because it\u2019s possible or even likely you\u2019ll meet them again. The second is more upbeat – <\/span>it\u2019s a small world<\/span><\/i>! Even if two people have to be separated, chances are good they\u2019ll get to meet again at some point in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

***<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019ve equipped yourself with these ten German sayings or <\/span>Redensarten<\/span><\/i>, you\u2019ll have no trouble finding the right word for the situation. Of course these are just the tip of the iceberg: remember that the best way to learn more German is to keep your eyes and ears open while you look for content that keeps your attention<\/a>. <\/span>Viel Gl\u00fcck!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Alex Thomas began learning a few phrases of German a while ago for a short vacation. It has been nearly six years since then and he has no plans to stop learning.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
