German edit

Etymology edit

From Italian corso in the archaic sense of “horse race” (for which now corsa), since such celebrations were originally (and still sometimes are) performed with coaches. Doublet of Kurs.

Pronunciation edit

  • IPA(key): /ˈkɔʁzo/
  • (file)

Noun edit

Korso m (strong, genitive Korsos, plural Korsos)

  1. (chiefly in compounds) a public celebration with vehicles driving in a row; on any occasion, but commonest with weddings and football victories

Usage notes edit

  • A Korso is distinct from an Umzug (parade) in that its organisation is usually private and often spontaneous. In some cases, however, the two words may overlap.
