Funny German words, do they even exist?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Truth be told, when I began to write an article about funny German words I didn\u2019t really know where to turn.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you learn a language<\/a> for a long time, it stops sounding strange and exotic and just seems, well, normal.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve got to come at it from a new, outside angle.<\/span><\/p>\n

So what I\u2019ve done here is searched through quite a few pieces written in <\/span>other<\/span><\/i> languages to find out what the <\/span>world<\/span><\/i> thinks the funniest German words are.<\/span><\/p>\n

After all, if so many people agree on one thing, it must be true, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

So here they are.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Funny German words according to…<\/h2>\n

Das Sprunggelenk<\/b><\/p>\n

First off, a word many Americans (including myself) love. It means \u201cankle\u201d but literally comes out to \u201cjump link.\u201d I love it because the sounds just roll off the tongue so well. Besides, it fits the meaning perfectly when you think about it!<\/span><\/p>\n

Mein Sprunggelenk ist geschwollen.<\/span><\/em>
My ankle is swollen.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Die Verschlimmbesserung<\/b><\/p>\n

This is a favorite in France. It describes a situation where you try to make things better but end up getting into a worse fix than when you started \u2013 literally a worsening-bettering!<\/span><\/p>\n

Das war eine echte Verschlimmbesserung.<\/span><\/em>
That was a real doozy.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Der Purzelbaum<\/b><\/p>\n

Indonesians love this word for \u201csomersault.\u201d <\/span>Der Purzel<\/span><\/i> is a slang word for a cute little boy, a \u201crascal\u201d if you will. When a <\/span>Purzel<\/span><\/i> stands on his hands, he becomes a little \u201crascal tree\u201d – at least for a little while before he topples over!<\/span><\/p>\n

Kannst du einen Purzelbaum schlagen?<\/span><\/em>
Can you do a somersault?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Der Spuckschluck<\/b><\/p>\n

This Russian favorite might make you shudder \u2013 the German word for \u201cbackwash\u201d literally means \u201cspit-swallow!\u201d It\u2019s also used to describe that last little bit of drink in the bottle that you\u2019d rather not finish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Schlucken<\/span><\/i> is fairly close in meaning to \u201cgulp,\u201d as in \u201cgulping something down.\u201d <\/span>Spucken<\/span><\/i> means, \u201cto spit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lass keinen Spuckschluck in der Flasche stehen!<\/span><\/em>
Don\u2019t leave that last little bit in the bottle!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/a><\/h3>\n

Jein<\/b><\/p>\n

Another favorite from the French. It\u2019s probably not too hard to guess that this is a blend of <\/span>Ja<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Nein<\/span><\/i>, making it a single word with \u201cyes\u201d and \u201cno\u201d connotations. While English \u201cyes and no\u201d is a slightly stilted and formal answer to an ambiguous question, German solves this problem very neatly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kennst du sie? Boah\u2026 jein?<\/span><\/em>
Do you know her? Uhhh\u2026 yes and no?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Die Popelbremse<\/b><\/p>\n

One more in the category of slightly gross words, this one is a hit among German learners in Spain. <\/span>Der Popel<\/span><\/i> refers to snot or mucus, and <\/span>eine Bremse<\/span><\/i> is a brake, like on a bike or car. What could a mucus-brake possibly mean? Well\u2026 a mustache!<\/span><\/p>\n

Er hat eine kleine Popelbremse.<\/span><\/em>
He has a little mustache.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Tsch\u00fcss!<\/b><\/p>\n

Last on the list but favorite in my opinion, I was initially confused why so many Chinese people would think the German word for \u201cgoodbye\u201d is so funny. Only later did I find out that its pronunciation is remarkably similar to the Chinese phrase \u53bb\u6b7b (<\/span>qu si)<\/span><\/i> meaning \u201cgo die!\u201d Can you imagine the hysterics in every introductory German class in China?<\/span><\/p>\n

Wir sehen uns morgen! Tsch\u00fcss!<\/span><\/em>
See you tomorrow! Bye!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

By the way, have you ever wondered what the best way to pick up <\/span>all<\/span><\/i> the German words is, not just the funny ones?<\/span><\/p>\n

It turns out it\u2019s a mixture: a little bit of vocabulary study and a lot of reading of content that\u2019s really interesting to you. It’s even better when you’re using content YOU<\/em> enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Learn German using content you love<\/h2>\n
