Wiktionary:Requested entries (German)

Shortcut:
WT:RE:de

Have an entry request? Add it to the list. - But please:

  • Think twice before adding long lists of words as they may be ignored.
  • If possible provide context, usage, field of relevance, etc.
  • Check the Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion if you are unsure if it belongs in the dictionary.

Please remove entries from this list once they have been written (i.e. the link is “live”, shown in blue, and has a section for the correct language)

There are a few things you can do to help:

  • Add glosses or brief definitions.
  • Add the part of speech, preferably using a standardized template.
  • If you know what a word means, consider creating the entry yourself instead of using this request page.
  • Please indicate the gender(s) .
  • If you see inflected forms (plurals, past tenses, superlatives, etc.) indicate the base form (singular, infinitive, absolute, etc.) of the requested term and the type of inflection used in the request.
  • Don’t delete words just because you don’t know them — it may be that they are used only in certain contexts or are archaic or obsolete.
  • Don’t simply replace words with what you believe is the correct form. The form here may be rare or regional. Instead add the standard form and comment that the requested form seems to be an error in your experience.

Most likely, either Rudolphus Goclenius, Filius (Rudolf Göckel der Jüngere), or Rudolphus Goclenius (Rudolf Göckel der Ältere)--91.61.112.200 18:21, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
Not unproven, but "dull, boring theory" (as opposed to "colourful" life itself). From Goethe, Faust: "Grau, teurer Freund, ist alle Theorie,/ Und grün des Lebens goldner Baum." ("All theory, dear friend, is grey, / But the golden tree of life is green [sic!].", said by Mephistopheles)
  • Großtausend – number of 1200, or number of 1.000.000 (i.e. a million), or both depending on author/definition?
  • Gstanzl n some kind of bawdy or satirical song, could also be citable in Alemannic but can certainly be attested as a German loan from Alemannic.
    • It's rather a 'loan' from Bavarian than from Allemannic. Standard High German form: Gestanzel n.
  • Guggenmusik

  • Jalla-Jalla, as a noun: Babak erinnerte immer wieder daran, dass es sich in Leipzig auch nur um zwei Spinner gehandelt haben könnte, die auf eigene Faust losgezogen sind und die Sache mit ein bisschen Jalla-Jalla größer machen wollten.__Gamren (talk) 18:57, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
    • (This "Jalla-Jalla" is from the Arabic term ياالله‎, yalla!, meaning "c'mon, hurry". I don't think it qualifies as a German word. I really don't know how to handle a term like that. —Stephen (Talk) 11:03, 6 January 2019 (UTC))
  • Jawort n particularly the phrase (sich) das Jawort geben.
  • Judenlettern
  • Judenpech = Jew's pitch (bitumen)
  • Judenrampe: rail platform for prisoners arriving at a concentration camp
  • Jugendfreizeiteinrichtung f
  • juten slang for guten. Missing German section. Example: "Schönen juten Tach!"

  • pah! interjection, possibly same as English
  • Pantoffelregiment, Pantoffel-Regiment; old (archaic/obsolete?) word related to dominant women and henpecked men.
  • Pausenbrot n
  • Pawirpen (from Low Prussian dialect) → plural form of Pawirp, an alternative form of Powirp
  • Perkolation (“percolation”)
  • Piefke: see de:Piefke and w:de:Piefke
    • 2010, February, w:de:Andreas Hoppe, “Ich bin dann mal da! Das Abenteuer der regionale Ernährung”, in demeter Journal (PDF)
      Tiefes spirituelles Erleben dort hat mich mental zurückgeführt in den Berliner Garten meines Opas, wo ich als Piefke glücklich war und genährt wurde in jeder Beziehung.
As a colloquial term for a little boy, "Piefke" is predominantly used in regions that once belonged to Prussia, especially Berlin.
      • The German sources don't support the sense. The slurs "snob" or "Nothern German" however don't seem to make much sense in the quote. Pimpf would fit.
  • pimp
  • Piz This might be a Swiss-German term referring to a mountain top, e.g. w:de:Piz Buin. It stems from the Romansh word 'piz' for 'peak'. --91.61.108.148 02:10, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
    • Does anyone know: Is this Alemannic, or a German term used regionally in Switzerland, or both? And can someone say "Endlich seh ich den Piz!" Or is it only used in geographical names? – Gormflaith (talk) 16:15, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
      • duden.de has it as Piz and in placenames Piz Palü, Piz Buin, Piz Bernina. The entry Piz has "Bergspitze (meist als Teil von Bergnamen, z. B. Piz Palü)", i.e. "mountain peak (mostly as part of mountain names, e.g. [example])". This would mean that the term is also non-Alemannic NHG and does sometimes occur outside of fixed place names. However, in a short google book search, I only saw Piz in place names. As for a start, how about a NHG entry Piz with a sense like "# {{lb|de|in place names}} mountain peak, peak of mountain" and with related terms like Piz Palü? If Piz is attested outside of place names, the label could be adjusted to "mostly in place names".
  • Plaste = plastic (East German word?), as in Plastetüte for Plastiktüte
  • Plenken: "typographical term for the insertion of inappropriate spaces before a punctuation mark"; and Klempen, same thing but after the punctuation mark.
  • Prickler m: prickles?, some kind of prickly fizzy? drink (probably mix of beer or wine and lemonade)
There is a German verb prickeln. Prickler is also a surname in Germany. Perhaps, you should add some context just to clarify the meaning of 'Prickler'.

  • voran as postposition requiring dative (?), e.g. "Das Weib schreitet dem Mann voran", "Die Frau geht dem Mann voran in der Gewährung von Nahrung und Kleidung".
To me, it seems to be "voranschreiten/-gehen" + dat., but the syntax of the second quote would be unusual (but not impossible) in case of this analysis.
Literally translated, "ohnfürdenklich" means "without thinkable". The term is obsolete now. unerdenklich is synonymous and used these days: "seit unerdenklichen Zeiten".
Another form of unfürdenklich, unvordenklich (see also undenklich), and superfically it's from ohne or un-, vor or für, denken and -lich.

  • "Damit ist kein Blumentopf zu gewinnen": please create an appropriate entry for this idiom: might be "nothing to write home about".
  • "das ist unser Mann! der hört doch das Gras wachsen auf der Rennbahn!": an idiom about grass
  • "ach du grüne Neune!" (green nine: something like oh dear?!)
  • "ach du liebe Zeit!" (oh you dear time: also something like oh dear?! I think of oh my days but don't know if it's similar)
  • There is a German phrase meaning "hit the chicken", meaning "go to bed" (like hit the sack): I suppose because a pillow may be stuffed with chicken feathers. What is it?
