Learning German Is (Almost) Easy: Part 13 – Cosmos

~ Frank Solanki

This series was a great way to trick my mind into learning a new language and spending time doing something productive. This blog has been a useful platform to do that and share some of the knowledge I have gained with others. Here’s the last part of the series (for now). Going forward I will be posting poems as usual. But if you have found this series interesting and want me to do more of it or if you have any suggestions for me do let me know in the comments. Also, I will be pleased to hear from you if you managed to learn a few German words in the process or if this series ignited a fire in you to learn German or any other language.

Let’s start with the easy ones:

Mercury is called Merkur
Venus is called Venus
Earth is called Erde
Mars is called Mars
Jupiter is called Jupiter
Saturn is called Saturn
Uranus is called Uranus
Neptune is called Neptun
Pluto is called Pluto
Planet is called Planet
Orbit is called Orbit
Meteor is called Meteor
UFO is called UFO (unbekanntes Flugobjekt)
Astronaut is called Astronaut (male)/Astronautin (female)

Let’s make it a little tricky

Sun is called Sonne
Moon is called Mond
Satellite is called Satellit
Galaxy is called Galaxie
Galaxies is called Galaxien
Universe is called Universum
Comet is called Komet

Now let’s get to the tough ones:

Star is called Stern
World is called Welt
Space is called Platz
Time travel is called Zeitreise
Gravity is called Schwere
Sky is called Himmel
Rotation is called Drehung

Now I wish you luck:

Aliens are called Außerirdische
Oxygen is called Sauerstoff
Black hole is called Schwarzes Loch
Meteoroid is called Sternschnuppe
Lightspeed is called Lichtgeschwindigkeit

Thanks for reading!

  1. I’ve learnt some new English words. Thanks. But the term ‘Space’ is a little bit ambiguous: it can mean both ‘Raum’ – en:'(free) room’ or ‘Weltraum’ – en:’The Universe’ in German.
