It’s not unusual for many to consider learning German super hard. I don’t know what could be the reason for such an estimation, but what I know for sure, is the existence of innumerable funny and weird works in the German language that renders the whole learning process a fun thing to do. 


When you hear these words, and learn their meanings in English, one can’t but roll out laughing! What I want to do is present some of these words that have been translated into English from German for your perusal, so that we can spend a ROFL moment together!


So without taking any further, let’s get straight to the list of untranslatable words in German that are funny!


  1. Fremdschämen - "Be ashamed for a stranger"

  2. Kopfkino - "Head cinema"

  3. Warteschlange - "Wait snake"

  4. Erklärungsnot - "Explanation poverty"

  5. Stubentiger - "Room tiger"
