My new skis and I just got back from a weekend of ski-touring in Austria, which means it's time for a topical German word.
It's genießen (geh-knee-sen)! It means "enjoy" and just saying it is enjoyable. Try it! Let me show you.
Say, "I enjoyed that ice cream."
Now say, "I totally genießed that ice cream."
Which better captures the feeling of enjoying an ice cream? There's only one right answer.
P.S. Those are not my skis. Blatant misrepresentation, I know.
P.P.S. That's not how you conjugate genießen, but this is a Sunday night vocabulary lesson, not a Sunday night grammar lesson.
