Hello

Get ready to chuckle and expand your vocabulary with a hilarious joke and new German words!

Gerechtigkeit

The German word for justice is 'Gerechtigkeit'. It is used in the same context as in English, to describe the concept of fairness, impartiality, and moral rightness. For example, one might say 'Die Gerechtigkeit muss gewahrt bleiben' (Justice must be upheld) to express the importance of fairness and impartiality in society.

Here's how to use it:

  • Gerechtigkeit ist ein fundamentales Prinzip der Gesellschaft.
  • Wir suchen Gerechtigkeit für die Opfer.
  • Gerechtigkeit für Alle ist das Ziel.

geeist

The German phrase 'geeist' is not a direct translation for 'Being iced'. However, it can be used in a similar context to mean 'being frozen' or 'being iced over'. It is often used to describe a situation where something is covered in ice or frozen solid.

Here's how to use it:

  • Möchten Sie ein geeistes Getränk?
  • Das geeiste Dessert war köstlich.
  • Ich trinke gerne geeistes Wasser, wenn es heiß ist.

Rauch

The German word 'Rauch' is used to describe the visible vapor or gas that is emitted by burning substances. It is a noun and can be used in various contexts such as 'dense Rauch' (dense smoke) or 'Rauch aus dem Schornstein' (smoke from the chimney).

Here's how to use it:

  • Der Rauch kommt aus dem Schornstein.
  • Pass auf, der Rauch könnte deine Augen reizen.
  • Der Raum ist voller Rauch.

Lampe

The German word 'Lampe' is a direct translation of the English word 'lamp'. It is used to refer to a device that provides light, typically powered by electricity. It is commonly used in homes, offices, and other indoor spaces. The word can also be used in a figurative sense to refer to a source of inspiration or enlightenment.

Here's how to use it:

  • Die Lampe auf dem Tisch ist kaputt.
  • Kannst du die Lampe einschalten?
  • Die Lampe gibt ein gemütliches Licht.

Obst

Obst is the German word for fruit. It is a neuter noun and is used in the same way as the English word 'fruit'. It can refer to a single piece of fruit or multiple pieces of fruit. For example, 'Ich esse gerne Obst' means 'I like to eat fruit'.

Here's how to use it:

  • Ich mag Obst.
  • Obst ist gesund.
  • Wo ist das Obst?
