About this listen
This Week’s Wort der Woche: fuchsteufelswild
Ready to sound dramatically angry in German? This week, we're diving deep into a word that literally translates to "fox-devil-wild": fuchsteufelswild! You probably already know "wütend" or "sauer," but this gem takes your German vocabulary to a whole new level of expressiveness and emotion. It's the kind of word that shows you've truly experienced life's little frustrations – like a missed train or a cold Wiener Schnitzel!
What Does "fuchsteufelswild" Mean?
fuchsteufelswild = absolutely furious; raging mad; out-of-your-mind angry
Literally: "fox-devil-wild" – a mash-up of Fuchs (fox), Teufel (devil), and wild. Yes, this word doesn't hide its drama!
