What do you think when it comes to Germans? Most people think they are very serious and
not funny. While that may be true, the German language can be really fun when you translate it into
English! Here are some examples of interesting German words.
• Kummerspeck
The word "Kummerspeck” means "sad bacon" when it is translated into English, but that doesn't
make sense. This word means the weight gained from overeating because of sadness. It is very normal
for us to eat more when we are down, isn't it?
• Du bist das Gelbe vom Ei
This is the German way of saying “You are the apple of my eye.” But instead of apples, Germans
like to use “the yolk of my egg" to tell you that you are very important to them. If one day someone
tells you that you are the yolk of his egg, don't look too surprised. You should be very happy!
• Schnappsidee
The word “Schnappsidee" means “crazy idea” when it is translated into English. It is used to
show an idea that you decide quickly without thinking and is often a stupid one. Think carefully before
acting because a Schnappsidee will often lead to crazy things!
