The word 'Mund' in German translates directly to 'mouth' in English. It is used to refer to the opening in the human or animal face through which food is taken in and from which speech and other sounds are emitted. It is also used in some idiomatic expressions, such as 'jemandem etwas aus dem Mund nehmen' (to take the words out of someone's mouth) or 'jemandem etwas auf den Mund schneidern' (to tailor something to someone's mouth).
