Wet in German 🇩🇪

nass info.

The German word “nass” translates directly to “wet” in English. To remember “nass,” you might visualize something familiar getting wet, like Nass-tücher, which are wet wipes in German. If you associate the similar sounding English word “moss” with dampness, that can also help—moss often grows in wet areas, thus “moss” could remind you of “nass.”

Other words in German that mean the same thing are “feucht” (damp) or “klitschnass,” which means soaking wet, with “klitsch” conveying the sense of something being slippery or slick from wetness.

“Nass” can also have a slang or colloquial use in some contexts. In certain areas or among some groups, it might be used to suggest that someone has had too much to drink (is “soaked”).

Here are some example sentences using “nass”:

– Nach dem Regen war die Straße ganz nass. (After the rain, the street was completely wet.)
– Seine Kleidung war nass vom Schnee. (His clothes were wet from the snow.)
– Der Hund schüttelte sich und machte alles um ihn herum nass. (The dog shook itself and got everything around it wet.)
– Geh nicht raus, sonst wirst du nass! (Don’t go outside, or you’ll get wet!)
