A little about love
Confessions of feelings in German are subtle and beautiful. And here it is important to remember the phrase flawlessly, so as not to cause laughter to your chosen one. If your knowledge of German leaves much to be desired, you should start with the simplest expressions, gradually complicating them and making them more refined:
- Ich liebe dich (I love you);
- Ich bin betrunken von dir (I am intoxicated by you);
- Tag und Nacht träume ich nur von dir (I dream of you day and night);
- Nur mit dir kann ich glücklich sein (Only with you will I be happy);
- Unsere Liebe ist das Wichtigste in meinem Leben (Our love is the most important thing in my life).
German confessions in poetry
We have already remembered German writers who have written wonderful literary works, and here is one of them.
It belongs to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and says that the feeling of falling in love - compared with rebirth, the beginning of a new life of man. You can pick up a lot of useful vocabulary from this poem, including love vocabulary 
Neue Liebe, neues Leben Herz, mein Herz, was soll das geben? Was bedränget dich so sehr? Welch ein fremdes, new life! I no longer recognize you. Gone is all that you loved, Gone is why you grieved, Gone is your diligence and your peace - Alas, how did you come to this! Does the youthful bloom, this lovely figure, This look full of faithfulness and kindness With infinite force bind you? If I will quickly withdraw from her, Brace myself, flee from her, Lead me in a moment, Alas, my way back to her! And by this magic thread that cannot be torn, The dear loose girl holds me so against her will; Must now live in her magic circle in her own way. The change, oh, how great! Love! Love! let me go! (1775)
| СЛОВО / ФРАЗА | ТРАНСКРИПЦИЯ | ПЕРЕВОД |
| new love | нойе либе | новая любовь |
| new life | нойес лебен | новая жизнь |
| ... is everything you loved | ... ист аллес, вас ду либтест | ... - это всё, что ты любил |
| Heart, my heart, what shall this give? | Херц, майн Херц, вас золь дас гебен? | Сердце, ах, сердце, что бы это могло быть? |
| Liebe! Liebe! laß mich los! | Liebe! Liebe! laß mich los! | Liebe! Liebe! Let me go! |
We've given you a few expressions that appear in the poem, but will you be able to translate the rest? Try at your leisure to make your own translation (even if it is word-for-word or without rhymes, if you can't find consonant words in Russian). Then compare your text with the official translations and see how faithful you are to the content.
Help yourself to the statuses
The original statuses and quotes are not only easy to remember. Phrases that ring a bell and help you learn grammar and form sentences. For example: Jeder Tag ist ein neuer Anfang (Every day is a new beginning) or Wenn es etwas Besseres gibt als geliebt zu werden, ist es lieben (If there is anything better than being loved, it is to love). By studying the statuses and trying to understand the elusive meaning, it is easier to remember a new word or the whole expression.
"That feeling when..."
There are times when a concept is already in the culture, but the right word to describe it does not yet exist. The following 10 German words describe a feeling that we have all experienced at least once in our lives.
das Fernweh
[fernweh].
Everyone knows the feeling of homesickness, but what do you call being away from home? Or maybe you miss a place you have never been? In both cases you are experiencing Fernweh.
Interestingly, the counterpart of this expression in English is also the German word wanderlust. Caution. Although the words are often used as synonyms, it is not always appropriate.
Fernweh is painful
feeling of not being able to be anywhere else at the moment, whereas wanderlust expresses joy, anticipation, and an active intention to go on a trip.
Example:
"When I see pictures on Pinterest with mountains, campfires, and life in tents, it only makes me feel more fernwei, and I want to get out of my seat right away."
.
das Fremdschämen
[das fremdschämen].
Spanish shame, when you feel a terrible sense of embarrassment for the actions of another person. Why can't we do without the expression "ashamed of someone"? We are ashamed of those with whom we are personally acquainted, and we end up being ashamed of the very fact that there is a relationship between us and someone who is embarrassed.
And the Spanish shame we feel more often because of outside people - characters on social networks or talk shows.
From this media sphere comes this relatively young word, which was first registered in the German dictionary Duden in 2009.
Example:
"It was so disgusting on her part that I had a pretty good fremdsham."
der innere Schweinehund
[der innere schweinehund].
This expression describes the part of our personality responsible for all the sins we don't want to attribute to our conscience: pizza instead of a workout, another series of TV shows instead of a scheduled cleaning, another hour of sleep instead of a jog. Sometimes we all vitally need the opportunity to say it wasn't all me, but my "inner pig-dog."
Example:
"If I don't think of a reward for my morning run in the evening, my inner schweinehund will win early in the morning and I won't go anywhere."
der Ohrwurm
[der ohrwurm].
This is the anatomical word for a haunting melody that usually has a textual accompaniment. By the way, if you are familiar with the English earworm, it is also a derivation of German, meaning "earworm."
Example:
"Gautier's song Somebody That I Used To Know is a real earworm!"
die Schadenfreude
[di schadenfreude].
Have you ever felt joy over another person's failure, mixed with embarrassment and even guilt over it? This is precisely schadenfreude. Its peculiarity is that it is socially approving. It describes more than an inability or unwillingness to show sympathy for the person who has failed.
Schadenfreude includes the context of past experiences: you once did not get along with this person. And it is this shadow of the past that gives you the right to rejoice now that he has failed at something.
The word is already firmly embedded in the English language, which means that if you are communicating in English, you can safely exercise your right to feel Schadenfreude.
Example
: "When an excellent student told her classmates about not getting into any university on a budget, their faces reflected schadenfreude instead of sympathy."
die Schnapsidee
[di schnapsidee].
Even a slight intoxication turns off the brakes, and we come up with "great" ideas that we want to implement immediately. When we sober up, we realize that the idea was too crazy. But Schnapsidee visits even people in a sober state: that is what Germans call basically any stupid idea.
Example:
"In the beginning, many people thought tiktok was an absolute Schnapsidee, but gradually this social network is gaining momentum and even setting trends."
die Torschlusspanik
[di Torschlusspanik].
Literally: panic before the closing gates, in Russian we call this feeling "the feeling of a train going away." It is the kind of panic that occurs when you seem to be about to miss something very important in your life. Most often this word describes their condition for people in their 30s and 40s, who begin to fear that they will never find a suitable partner again.
Example
: "I'm on my fifth girlfriend getting married, I can feel the torshluss coming on to me!"
verschlimmbessern
[verschlimmbessern].
Every creative person (perhaps suffering from perfectionism) is familiar with the situation: whether you're writing a painting, composing a piece of poetry, editing an article for The Knife, there always seems to be something else that could be improved. But as well as being able to look critically at your work, it is very important to be able to stop in time. It is this absurd "wanted to do better, but only made it worse" that fits into one German verb, "ferschlimbessern."
Example:
"It seems to me that after 12 hours of work on my term paper, I only ferschlimbessern it."
der Weltschmerz
[der Weltschmerz].
Nabokov said that "no word in the English language can convey all the nuances of longing. It is a feeling of spiritual suffering for no particular reason. It is a vague pain of the soul, a vague anxiety, a nostalgia, a longing for love. However, the German Weltschmerz is ready to compete with it both in scale and depth: the feeling that everything is wrong and everything is wrong, the feeling of incomprehensible longing from the fact that your expectations of life and the world do not correspond to reality.
This concept of world grief is a leitmotif of the works of nineteenth-century Romanticism.
Example
"I often get a Weltschmerz in the fall."
der Zugzwang
[der Zugzwang].
When we refuse to choose, we nevertheless make the choice not to choose and have to reckon with the consequences. When we do not even have this option and are forced to make a decision, knowing in advance that it is bad, we experience a Zugzwang. The word comes from chess and describes a situation where you have to make a move even if you know it is bad.
Example:
"After high school graduation, adult guys find themselves in a zugzwang: either the army or university, there is no third."
Why Learn Pretty Phrases
When learning German, the focus is usually on the relevance and "necessity" of words and phrases that gradually expand the vocabulary. Undoubtedly, it is necessary to be able to ask for help or ask how to get to the right place (for tourists), to maintain a conversation with a business partner or friends. But
But you can not ignore beautiful phrases in German. They help to paint even a business conversation emotionally, to express appreciation and goodwill, to make an impression of an educated and intelligent person.
It should be understood - the usual rote will not help here.
Incorrect use of a beautiful phrase can distort its meaning, or worse, cause the interlocutor to involuntarily smile. To avoid this, tirelessly expand your vocabulary, including in the list of new phrases non-standard, beautiful and melodic. If you are studying with a private teacher, ask to include this section in your lessons. And if you're just getting ready to learn German, Virtual Academy tutors will be happy to help you.

Geborgenheit (a special feeling of safety and security)
This is one of the most beautiful and difficult words in the German language to translate! Geborgenheit is the unique feeling one experiences when returning home after a long absence or when embracing someone one loves and appreciates very much. It's a moment when we feel like we really exist, are in the moment, warm and safe. After that, it's hard to argue that German is beautiful?
