In this episode of Wortsalat, we dive into the delightfully expressive word Heulsuse — a playful and slightly cheeky term used to describe someone who’s quick to cry or gets overly emotional, especially about small things.

You’ll learn where the word comes from and how to use it naturally in real-life situations.

At the end of the episode, I invite you to share your own Heulsuse story — send it via Instagram @deutschmitCarina, and don’t forget to sign up for the newsletter to get new and unusual German words every week:

This Week’s Wort der Woche: fuchsteufelswild

Ready to sound dramatically angry in German? This week, we're diving deep into a word that literally translates to "fox-devil-wild": fuchsteufelswild! You probably already know "wütend" or "sauer," but this gem takes your German vocabulary to a whole new level of expressiveness and emotion. It's the kind of word that shows you've truly experienced life's little frustrations – like a missed train or a cold Wiener Schnitzel!

What Does "fuchsteufelswild" Mean?

fuchsteufelswild = absolutely furious; raging mad; out-of-your-mind angry

Literally: "fox-devil-wild" – a mash-up of Fuchs (fox), Teufel (devil), and wild. Yes, this word doesn't hide its drama!
