German-speakers How Do You Say The Following

For German speakers: How do I say, "How do I say ____ in German"?

Looks like you've already got great answers, I figured though, you might need some phonetic help.

Wie sagt man " " auf deutch?

sounds like

Ve sagt (a sounds like "ah") man (a sounds like "ah") owf doytch (eu makes a sound like toy)

Can a native German speaker tell me how to say "Jew" in German?

I am German and I am Jewish. As far as I know I call myself "Jüdin", I go to the Jewish High School (Jüdische Oberschule) and I am a member of the Jewish community (Jüdische Gemeinde), my grandparents are now at the Jewish cemetery (Jüdischer Friedhof)... I could keep on going like this, but I figure I have answered your question.
In Germany, you can say Jude to a Jewish person. However, during the Nazis, it was often used as a curse, like in "dreckiger Jude"(something like "fil thy J ew"). Of course, no comment like this is appropriate in the USA, neither is it in Germany, especially in Germany.

German speakers, could you translate the following sentences in German:?

Dahlias translation is excellent. You can also try: Meiner Meinung nach ist Sport eine Aktivität, bei der man seins Schuhe wechseln muss um teilnehmen zu können und die Dich (or Sie) ins Schwitzen bringt. Schuhwerk is a bit uncommon and sounds old fashioned, Schuhe (shoes) is the simple plural of Schuh (shoe). The "," (comma) before the "um" is not necessary after the language reform (erweiterter Infinitiv) "ins Schwitzen" sounds a bit more like spoken language and feels better, but "zum" is ok, too. "die einen ins Schwitzern..." compared to "die dich...": "einen" is unpersonal, you could translate as one, someone. "Dich" is you (familiar), but use "Sie" for unfamiliar (e.g. you will use "Du" if you talk to a friend or child, but "Sie" if you talk to a stranger, your teacher or boss). It depends on what you want to say, as the "einen" in this context like the German "man" has no real exact translation to English. If you really mean the person you are talking to, you should use Dich rsp. Sie (I am talking about YOU, not someone else), otherwise use einen. break a sweat, hmmm, we have in German also a phrase where "break" could be used. Meiner Meinung nach ist Sport eine Aktivität, bei der man seins Schuhe wechseln muss um teilnehmen zu können und die einen Schweißausbruch verursacht. Schweißausbruch = lit. sweat out break, verursacht = causes (Ursache = cause). However, this "outbreak" is usually not so much associated with sport (sport leads to sweating) but more to stress or fear (the outbreak is somewhat spontanous and unexpected, it comes out of nothing).

Native german speakers! How do you say 'Normally I have to do housework like washing dishes, hoovering' etc.?

Normalerweise muss ich Hausarbeiten erledigen, wie Geschirr spuelen, Staub saugen, etc. ("Staub saugen" without "zu")
-> if you just do housework like the listed ones.

or:

Normalerweise bin ich für die Hausarbeit zuständig, wie Staub saugen, Geschirr spuelen und Waesche waschen.
-> if you are the one who is normally doing all the housework.


It is also correct to write "Staubsaugen" (das, Nomen, Neutr.)!

German speakers- how do you say I have a gluten allergy/cannot eat gluten food?

"Ich habe eine Gluten-Allergie", it's as easy as that.

And don't be worried about shopping at supermarkets, everything there which has NO gluten will be marked in the ingredients list (or even on the front side of the package) as "glutenfrei" (free of gluten).

btw, you can eat pork and all kind of meat and cheese without any worries, as you might know, because they are naturally gluten-free.

NATIVE GERMAN/SPANISH SPEAKERS: How do you say mixedrace/biracial (black+white)?

you're precise yet i think of maximum mono racial human beings are a minimum of ninety% something their race.i'm multiracial .It made me mad how white human beings manage others interior the previous.on the time i did not even knew i replaced into multiracial(mixed interior sight) and the girls interior the previous who made it obtainable for me to be mixed right this moment replaced into white.i'm not racist lol yet i presumed all white human beings have been undesirable interior the previous and that i presumed very just about all of them have been undesirable in our time too.Now i understand that different races could be undesirable merely like white human beings. i'm skinny,tall,with huge breasts(each race has those features) I easily have reddish brown curly mixed hair.I easily have huge eyes like indian asians.I easily have a severe high quality accepted butt lol.My head is a oval shape.

For fluent German speakers- How do you say 'That's What She Said' in German?

"Das hat sie auch gesagt"

I realize that this phrase is used on shows like the Office or Family Guy as a fixed collocation. As I understand it it's used to adds sexual innuendo to an otherwise innocuous conversation. (e.g. "That was fast"
"That's what she said")
The German phrase does not have that connotation. You could maybe use something like
"Das sagt meine Freundin auch immer." (that's what my girlfriend always says) or
"Das sagt deine Freundin auch immer." (that's what your girlfriend always says)

Yes, surviving will be no problem - especially in Hamburg and other big cities. Let me ask you a question: Was Germany your choice? If yes, why? Do you want to get to know Germany? Hamburg? If so, do yourself a favor and learn some German - it will come naturally when you're willing to. I was asked this question from an aspiring sudent. Here's my answer: Chris Heidemanns's answer to I am a student aspiring to study in Germany. Is A1 level German good enough to converse easily with the locals?  When coming to Germany was based on free will (and you're not forcibly transferred), give some respect to your host country (and its inhabitants) and learn at least some rudimentary German (or any other language in any other country). It's not that easy but you will have so much more quality of life and who knows, maybe even more fun! Enjoy your stay!
