Hello everyone,
And welcome to your German Word of the Day.
This time, with a look at the meaning of
fremd
And of course we’ll not just look at the word itself but also explore its family a bit because there are some real vocabulary nuggets to be found.
But let’s start with fremd itself.

The Text Comprehension Exercise at the end does not work
Give me some details please.
Nevermind it works now. It gave me an error before after generating. Thanks
Oh okay :)
Ich denke das Übungszeug hat fantastich Potenzial. Vielen Dank für die Erstellung.
Freut mich, dass es dir gefaellt!
Great article as usual :)
> der Fremdkörper – the foreign object (in your body)
This is a great example to have included because the use of the word “foreign” here in English is also different than the usual meaning. It communicates not-belonging-ness more than of-different-nationality.
Mir gefällt sehr das Übungszeug!
The text comprehension tool is fantastic! Thank you!
Your Text Comprehension tool is excellent! Thank you!!
I’ve been away from the site because of B2 exams. And this new upgrade is so useful. more of an active learning tool.
Hast du bestanden?
Das Ergebnis kommt im Juli… too much anticipation about it :)
Hast du ein Gefuehl?
Ja, ich denke, dass ich es gut gemacht habe. sehr höflich. Jetzt suche ich eine Stelle, wo ich meine Deutschkenntnisse anwenden kann.
Wish me luck and any advice that you can share, it always helps!!
Thanks for the new text comprehension tool, Ema! I particularly like the flexibility and ease of use of this tool. Very creative!
Glad you like it!!
Wow! Gut gemacht. Gute Ergänzung
Hello leute. Vieleeeeen danken. Thank you Emanuel and all people who helped us to join this awesome community by their support. I too joined for a year with your generous helps and I appreciate it. THANK YOU
Thank you Emanuel and members of the community. Thanks to your contributions I was signed up for a free membership for a year. I appreciate everyone here!
Ich mag es sehr. Danke für deine Arbeit!
Toll, perfekt and any other superlatives you can think of. Very useful and user friendly.
Any reading practice is welcome and especially if it is connected to learning or practicing new vocabulary.
Yeah, practicing the vocab you read about was a huge gap on my site, but I’ll close that now.
Text Comprehension is a super cool tool – really makes you engage with the language and text on a deeper level.
das Thema war toll. Es freut mich riesig. Vielen Dank. Die Prüfung gefällt mir. Du bist der Bester.
“der Beste”.. only one gender marker. If the article has it, the adjective is free.
Ahhhh, I think this was my suggestion?? I LOVE the new tool!! It’s exactly what I was thinking! I selected C1, which is what I technically am (according to the DSD-2, haha), but I will def kick it down to B2 because I feel that will be more conducive to learning new vocab. I hope people like and use the new tool, and that it’s not too much extra work for you??
Yeah, that was just such a great idea, it as a bit of work, but absolutely worth it.
The cool thing is that the texts themselves are made by AI so I can add that to every article on the site easily, so you’ll soon have this feature available all the time.
Thanks again for suggesting this, it’s a really really nice addition!!
‘fremd’ is a great choice for Word of the Day and the practice feature is very much appreciated.
Love the text generator… can questions in German be an option?
They should be in German for the higher levels. Which level did you try?
Hello, let’s correct a few typos:
“over wheight” (overweight)
“second hand” (second-hand; you have it twice)
“I’ll explain is in a second” (I’ll explain it in a second)
I knew the word “fremd” and its meaning, but the two last words were totally “fremd” to me :)
Bis bald!
