Learning German Words
June 2025
I hang out with some folks from German on discord.
They are very slowly teaching me the language.
This is way more fun than when I took German in high school. All that knowledge is long gone, except for:
these aren't spelled right yet:
- kopf - head
- bibliotech - library
- gutten tag - good day (semi-formal)
- gutten nacth
-
tsuch bis morgan - (bey till tomorrow)
Here's what I'm working on:
- Bauchweh - (b-au-ch-veh) tummy ache
- tschau - cio, but german
- existemzschmerz - like existential dread, but more regretful/painful
- toll - great
- grummeln - to be grumpy (grumbly)
- hummel (die) - bumblebee
- erwerben - to purchase
- Entschuldigung - sorry ('tschuldigung)
- Zappelphilipp - a person who can't sit still
- Einfaltspinsel -
- Flukzueg - "zueg" is general stuff - airplane
- Säbelzahnti - saber tooth tiger
- Scheinwerfer - flood light
- Sisyphosarbeit - working like sisyphus
- Taschenmonster - Pocket Monster
- Zahnpasta - Toothpaste
