Imagine my horror when I found out – far too recently, actually – that die Fotze is also a very offensive German swear word!! Yep, the exact same word means ‘pussy’ or ‘c*nt’ in most of Germany, BUT it is a harmless word for a slap in Bavaria and Austria. I used to be ‘threatened’ with a Fotze when I was misbehaving, as were all the kids. Having spent a huge part of my childhood in Lower Bavaria, I grew up hearing and using the word die Fotze all the time. We conclude this post with a spectacular example of how important it is to know regional differences between German words. Be careful what you order! To avoid this mistake, try to remember that the word ‘Spiel’ from Vorspiel (foreplay) means ‘play’ or ‘game’. The word die Huren is the plural of die Hure – whore.ĭas Vorspiel is the German word for foreplay, while die Vorspeise is a starter at a restaurant. Why? Because the word die Uhren is the plural of die Uhr – watch. Make sure you pronounce the ‘H’ in Huren, and elongate the ‘U’ sound in Uhren a little. These are words that sound more similar than they look. Be careful what you shout next time you’re at a football match.

If you’d like a post with audio clips on how to pronounce words with Umlauts, let me know!Ĭan’t see the difference between these two words? Look a little closer. To avoid this mistake, practice your pronunciation, especially with Umlauts. Don’t ask to borrow your friend’s breasts. That’s because the word Brüste is the plural of die Brust – breast. If you need a hairbrush and ask your German friend if you can borrow her Brüste, she will give you either a confused look or walk very quickly away from you. To be safe, though, unless you’re 100% sure, it’s best not to say this word around close relatives/managers/people you don’t know very well! People will also respond to things they like simply by saying ‘geil’. ‘Das Auto ist geil’ is a perfectly acceptable thing to say. If you say an object or a situation is geil, it means you think it’s cool. If you say another person is geil, it means you think they’re sexy/hot. So how are you supposed to know if you’re saying something is cool or something is hot/horny?! Try to think of it like: If you say you are geil, it means you’re horny. While this is not so much a case of getting words mixed up, it’s worth mentioning the tricky little word geil, because geil means horny or hot (sexually), and it also means cool. Try to think about using the word ‘Wir’ because it means ‘we’, and a divorce/separation involves two people… this will hopefully steer you away from saying ‘I vagina’. Instead, say ‘Wir lassen uns scheiden’, which is the correct way to say ‘We are getting a divorce’. In doing this you are saying ‘I, vagina’.

If you want to say you’re separating, though, as much as it might make sense to say ‘Ich scheide’, don’t. The verb scheiden means to separate or divorce. The word die Scheide is the German word for vagina.
