Ausgezeichnet

The German word ausgezeichnet.

Perfect rhythm, beautiful phonemes. It means excellent, and it is an excellent word.

    One of my teachers who I told this word to always says it to me. And she usually says it wrong but I still think it’s funny. Good to see this amazing German word on here. :)

  • That’s my favorite word too!

  • Augurin

    That’s a great word, but my favorite German word is still “untersteutzung”. Something about the combination of sound and rythm just makes that word a joy to say.

    i love this word. I used to take german classes at a local college and my teacher always used to say that…ausgezeichnet. its always stuck with me and i still remember leslie to this day.

    My favorite word too! I like to drop here and there all the time, drive my colleagues at work crazy (we speak English and Croatian at work).
    Glad to see others like it too.

    I was taking German in HS when a VW commercial had a test driver in a helmet finish his ride and flip up the helmet and exclaim, Ausgezeichnet and it’s been one of my fav words ever since.

  • Hazel Buckley

    Ha! I’m not mad then, it is *so* my favourite German word… Second fave is Ofnen :)

  • Walter

    Ausgetzeichnet! Bob, that VW commercial is also where I first heard this word and like you it’s been one of my favorite words ever since.
