Seriously, though, everybody loves learning \u2018naughty\u2019 things in another language, and swearing just isn\u2019t that big a deal in Germany. So instead, here are some German phrases you can use if you want to let someone know that you\u2019re angry with them. They\u2019re all commonly used phrases.<\/p>\n
DU KANNST MICH GERN HABEN!<\/strong> DU KANNST MICH! LECK MICH AM ARSCH! LECK MICH! HAST (DU) EIN WAHN ODER WAS?? HAU AB! SCHLEICH DICH! LASS MICH IN RUH! ACH DU LIEBER HIMMEL! MIST! \/ SO EIN MISTHAUFEN! QUATSCH! Please do let me know if you have any to add \u2013 or if there\u2019s an English phrase you\u2019d like me to translate for you, so that you can release your German anger to your heart\u2019s content! Language learning doesn\u2019t have to be about the serious stuff all the time: Emotions like anger come from the very core of a person\u2019s heart, so learning how different emotions are expressed in different languages can be a fascinating business!<\/p>\n On that note, I really hope you enjoyed my post. Now hau ab; it\u2019s time for me to make my dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You ever have one of those days where you just want to tell everyone to go to hell? Let\u2019s do that now – in German. How is this useful, I hear you ask? Well, maybe the next time a co-worker irritates you, you can scream your desired comeback at them in German (since German is…<\/p>\n
\nIs your lazy co-worker asking you to do their work for them? Had enough? Then scream \u201cDU KANNST MICH GERN HABEN!\u201d at them and walk away. This little phrase literally translates to, \u201cYou can like me!\u201d, which is a bit of an odd thing to say in anger. But it basically means, \u201cNo! Forget it! I am not doing that!\u201d You can also say \u201cGern kannst mich haben\u201d, which has the same meaning.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong> Literally \u201cYou can me!\u201d. A shortened version of \u201cDu kannst mich gern haben\u201c. Its unfinished nature (“You can __ me!”) leaves it open to the imagination!<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong> The German version of \u201cKiss my ass!\u201d, this insult literally translates to \u201cLick me on my ass\u201d, and as well as being directed at someone, it can also be used as an expression of shock or disbelief, for example: \u201cJana ist schonwieder schwanger?! Ja, leck mich am Arsch!\u201d \u2013 \u201cJana is pregnant again?! Well, leck mich am Arsch!\u201d<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong> A shortened version of the above, \u201cLeck mich!\u201d literally translates to \u201click me!\u201d and basically means \u201cbugger off\u201d.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong> If someone is talking rubbish at you, or suggesting an idea that has absolutely no logical grounding whatsoever, then you can ask them, \u201cHast (du) ein Wahn oder was?\u201d \u2013 \u201cAre you deluded or what?\u201d The word Wahn means \u2018delusion\u2019.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong> Quite simply, \u201cGet lost!\u201d. Interestingly, the word \u2018Hau\u2019 comes from the verb hauen: to hit. Nice and aggressive.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong> Another way of saying \u201cGet lost!\u201d. The word \u2018Schleich\u2019 comes from the verb schleichen: to creep.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong> The old classic, \u201cLeave me alone!\u201d<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong> Been trying to explain something simple to your thick co-worker for the past 20 minutes and they\u2019re STILL not getting it? This phrase is what you might say to yourself in frustration and despair. It literally means \u201eOh you beloved heaven!\u201c .<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong> \u201cMist\u201d is the German word for manure, and a \u201cHaufen\u201d is a heap or pile of something. Therefore, exclaiming the word \u201cMist!\u201d is like saying \u201cCrap!\u201d and the phrase \u201cSo ein Misthaufen!\u201d means \u201cWhat a pile of crap!\u201d<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong> If someone is talking absolute nonsense, you can tell them so by saying one little word: Quatsch \u2013 which is pronounced \u2018Kvatch\u2019.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/german\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2014\/10\/3543454897_31da299e76_n.jpg\")
