German lesson for Owlet: 4

[muckefuck]

Here's a review of the vocabulary I taught snowy_owlet over a plate of "German meatloaf" (the gloss "livercheese" probably wouldn't have moved so many portions, would it?) at the German-American Festival on Saturday. (QotD: "It's just like the rodeo!...Well, the rodeo meets the Ren faire.")

1. das Besteck
2. die Haube
3. das Messer
4. der Löffel
5. die Gabel
6. der Teller
7. der Kopf
8. das Kraut/die Kräuter
9. die Gurke
10. der Quark
11. das Heilkraut
12. der Käse
13. das Weh
14. die Welt
15. die Leber
16. die Kartoffel
17. das Brot

Note that the order is scrambled so you can test yourself: (a) silverware, (b) bread, (c) fork, (d) potato, (e) cabbage/herbs, (f) cheese, (g) plate, (h) liver, (i) medicinal herb, (j) spoon, (k) pickel, (l) world, (m) curd cheese, (n) knife, (o) head, (p) woe, (q) hood

Additional compounds (for practice):

Brotmesser
Gurkenkraut
Heimweh
Kräuterkäse
Mistgabel
Motorhaube
Salatgurke
Salzgurke
Teelöffel

Nachtrag

das Blei "lead" + der Stift "peg; stylus" = der Bleistift

You missed "pencil," which is annoying because it has a WHOLE OTHER work meaning "stick," dammit.

Right you are! Well, I've taken care of that. Oh, and some compounds:

Augenbrauenstift (das Auge "eye" die Braue "brow")
Farbstift (die Farbe "colour")
Wachsstift (das Wachs "wax")

Have him teach you my favourite German word, Tageslichtprojektor.

How would that work?

We looked for you at the German thingie!

And we looked for y'all! I can't imagine where y'all were hiding yourselves. At the shooting gallery? Behind the pheasant feathers? Underneath colourful ill-fitting Dirndls?
