transpirieren

To perspire, sweat; to excrete fluid through the skin.

शीर्ष 7,500

At the A1 level, you usually learn the word 'schwitzen' because it is very common and easy to use. 'Transpirieren' is much more advanced. However, you can think of it as a 'fancy' way to say someone is hot and their body is making water on their skin. You might see it in a doctor's office or on a bottle of deodorant. At this level, don't worry about using it yourself yet. Just remember: transpirieren = sweating. If you are in a very hot room and you see someone with water on their forehead, they are 'transpirierend'. It is a long word, but it sounds like 'perspire' in English, which might help you remember it. In A1, we focus on simple things like 'Ich schwitze' (I am sweating). 'Transpirieren' is a word you might hear if a teacher is being very formal or if you read a very polite book. It follows the same rules as other '-ieren' verbs like 'studieren' or 'telefonieren', which is helpful for your grammar later on.

At the A2 level, you are starting to learn more 'functional' and 'formal' vocabulary. You might encounter 'transpirieren' in short texts about health or in advertisements. In A2, you should know that 'transpirieren' is the formal version of 'schwitzen'. If you are writing a formal letter or a report about a health topic, 'transpirieren' is a better choice than 'schwitzen'. You can use it with adverbs like 'viel' (much) or 'wenig' (little). For example: 'Er transpiriert viel.' You will notice that it doesn't need an object. You don't 'transpirieren' a thing; you just do the action. It's also good to recognize the past tense 'hat transpiriert'. If you went for a run and then went to a pharmacy to buy something for your skin, the pharmacist might ask: 'Haben Sie stark transpiriert?' Understanding this word helps you navigate more professional environments in German-speaking countries.

At the B1 level, you are expected to distinguish between different registers of language. 'Transpirieren' is a perfect example of a B1-level word because it allows you to speak more precisely in formal situations. You should be able to use it in medical contexts, such as describing symptoms to a doctor, or in a professional workplace when discussing the climate in the office during summer. You should also be familiar with the noun 'die Transpiration'. At B1, you start to understand that German has many 'foreign' words (Fremdwörter) that come from Latin. These words often end in '-ieren' and are almost always more formal than their Germanic counterparts. For example, 'schwitzen' (Germanic) is everyday, while 'transpirieren' (Latin-root) is formal. You should practice using it with 'vor' + Dativ, like 'vor Hitze transpirieren', although 'schwitzen' is still more common there. Using 'transpirieren' correctly shows that you have reached a more mature level of German expression.

At the B2 level, you should use 'transpirieren' with confidence in technical or scientific discussions. You might encounter it in articles about biology, sports science, or climate change. At this level, you should also understand the nuances of synonyms like 'ausdünsten' or 'Schweiß absondern'. You should be able to explain the process of thermoregulation using this verb. For instance, you could say: 'Die Transpiration dient der Abkühlung des Körpers.' You should also be aware of the social implications of using such a word. In a B2 exam, using 'transpirieren' instead of 'schwitzen' in a formal presentation about health would earn you higher marks for 'range of vocabulary'. You should also be able to recognize it in literature, where it might be used to describe a character's physical state in a more detached or clinical way. Your grammar should be solid: 'Nachdem er eine Stunde gelaufen war, hatte er stark transpiriert.'

At the C1 level, your understanding of 'transpirieren' should include its stylistic functions. You recognize that an author might use this word to create a sense of clinical detachment or to characterize a person as being particularly formal or even pedantic. You are aware of its etymological roots in Latin and how this connects it to other 'spirare' words like 'Inspiration' or 'Respiration'. In professional medical or biological writing, you use 'transpirieren' and 'Transpiration' as standard terminology. You also understand metaphorical or rare uses, though 'transpirieren' is mostly literal. You can discuss the evolution of the word and its place in the German 'Fachsprache' (technical language). At C1, you can also use it ironically to mock someone who is trying too hard to be posh. Your command of the verb's placement in complex sentences, such as in passive constructions or as a participle ('der transpirierende Sportler'), is flawless.

At the C2 level, you have a near-native grasp of the word's socio-linguistic profile. You know exactly when 'transpirieren' is the only appropriate choice—such as in a high-level scientific paper on human physiology—and when it would sound absurdly out of place. You are familiar with its use in 18th and 19th-century German literature, where the distinction between 'common' and 'refined' bodily functions was even more strictly policed by vocabulary. You can use the word in complex rhetorical structures and understand its relationship to the broader field of German 'Bildungssprache' (the language of the educated). You might even know archaic or highly specialized variations and how they relate to the Latin 'trans-spirare'. Your use of the word is not just about meaning, but about tone, atmosphere, and the subtle signaling of your own educational background and social standing within the German language.

transpirieren 30 सेकंड में

Transpirieren is the formal and medical German verb for sweating (perspiring).
It is a regular verb derived from Latin, used in professional and polite contexts.
The everyday alternative is 'schwitzen', which is used in 95% of casual conversations.
Commonly used in medical reports, science, and high-register literature to describe body cooling.

The German verb transpirieren is a sophisticated and formal term used to describe the physiological process of sweating or perspiring. While the more common word for sweating is schwitzen, transpirieren elevates the register, making it suitable for medical, scientific, or highly polite social contexts. It originates from the Latin 'trans-' (through) and 'spirare' (to breathe), literally suggesting that the skin is 'breathing through' by releasing moisture. In everyday German, using this word instead of schwitzen can signal a desire to be delicate or clinical about a bodily function that some might find unpleasant to discuss directly.

Medical Context: In a clinical setting, a doctor might use this term to describe a patient's symptoms without the bluntness of colloquial language. For example, discussing hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) often involves the noun Transpiration or the verb transpirieren.
Formal Etiquette: In high-society or formal business environments, referring to someone as 'transpirierend' is considered more respectful than saying they are 'schwitzend'. It softens the biological reality of the situation.
Scientific Precision: Biology textbooks use this word to describe the thermoregulation process in mammals, focusing on the evaporation of fluid from the sweat glands to cool the body down.

Der Patient begann unter der Einwirkung des Fiebers stark zu transpirieren.

Understanding the nuance between transpirieren and schwitzen is key for B1 learners. While you can use schwitzen in 90% of situations, recognizing transpirieren in written texts, news reports, or medical consultations will broaden your comprehension. It is a weak verb, meaning it follows regular conjugation patterns, which makes it easier to integrate into your vocabulary once you understand its specific 'flavor'.

In der Sommerhitze transpiriert der menschliche Körper, um die Innentemperatur stabil zu halten.

Es ist völlig normal, bei körperlicher Anstrengung leicht zu transpirieren.

Durch das dicke Material des Anzugs transpirierte der Redner während seines Vortrags sichtlich.

Manche Menschen transpirieren mehr als andere, was genetisch bedingt sein kann.

Using transpirieren requires an understanding of its grammatical structure and its place within a sentence. As a regular (weak) verb, its conjugation is straightforward: ich transpiriere, du transpirierst, er/sie/es transpiriert, wir transpirieren, ihr transpiriert, sie transpirieren. In the past tense, it follows the pattern: ich transpirierte (Präteritum) and ich habe transpiriert (Perfekt). Because it describes a state or a continuous action of the body, it is almost always used with the auxiliary verb haben in the perfect tense.

Adverbial Modification: Commonly paired with adverbs like stark (strongly), leicht (lightly), übermäßig (excessively), or kaum (hardly). These modify the degree of perspiration being discussed.
Causal Clauses: Often used with 'vor' + dative to indicate the cause, such as vor Hitze (from heat) or vor Angst (from fear), though 'vor Angst schwitzen' is more common than 'vor Angst transpirieren'.

Während der Operation transpirierte der Chirurg unter seiner Maske.

In sentence construction, transpirieren typically functions as the main verb. It does not take a direct object (it is intransitive), as the action is something the subject does internally. You cannot 'transpirieren' something; you simply 'transpirieren'. If you want to mention the fluid itself, you would switch to a different construction, such as 'Schweiß absondern'. However, in poetic or very old-fashioned German, you might occasionally see it used in a way that suggests the skin is 'breathing out' moisture, but this is rare in modern usage.

Haben Sie letzte Nacht stark transpiriert?

Das Medikament kann dazu führen, dass der Patient weniger transpiriert.

You are most likely to encounter transpirieren in environments where professionalism and clinical distance are valued. If you are watching a German medical drama like 'In aller Freundschaft', you might hear a doctor mention a patient's 'Transpiration'. Similarly, in pharmacies or drugstores (Apotheken or Drogerien), product descriptions for high-end deodorants or medical-grade antiperspirants often use this word to emphasize their effectiveness against 'starkes Transpirieren'. It sounds more 'scientific' and thus more 'effective' to the consumer than just saying 'gegen Schwitzen'.

News and Documentaries: During heatwaves, news anchors might use the term when discussing the health risks for the elderly, explaining how the body's ability to transpirieren can be compromised by dehydration.
Formal Writing: In literature or formal essays, an author might choose transpirieren to create a specific atmosphere or to avoid the somewhat 'gritty' or 'dirty' associations of the word schwitzen.

Die Packungsbeilage warnt: Unter Alkoholeinfluss kann man vermehrt transpirieren.

Interestingly, you might also hear it in a slightly humorous or ironic way. If a group of friends is in a very hot room and one person wants to sound overly posh, they might say, 'Ich glaube, ich beginne zu transpirieren,' instead of 'Boah, ich schwitze voll.' This play on registers is a common feature of German humor. However, in a standard conversation at the gym, stick to schwitzen. If you tell your trainer you are transpirieren, they might look at you funny or think you are being intentionally pretentious.

The most frequent mistake learners make with transpirieren is using it in the wrong social register. While it is grammatically correct, using it in an informal setting like a football match or a casual hangout can make you sound like a textbook or a 19th-century aristocrat. Always consider the 'social temperature' of the room. If everyone else is using 'schwitzen', you should too. Another common error is confusing it with 'transportieren' (to transport) or 'transplantieren' (to transplant) due to the similar prefix and suffix. These words have vastly different meanings.

Confusion with 'schwitzen': Learners sometimes think transpirieren is just a 'better' word for schwitzen. It's not better; it's just more formal. Using it for a sweaty dog or a very sweaty athlete might feel mismatched.
Preposition Errors: Don't use 'mit' to describe what you are sweating. Use 'vor' for the cause (e.g., vor Hitze transpirieren) or simply an adverb (e.g., stark transpirieren).

Falsch: Ich transpiriere Schweiß. (Richtig: Ich schwitze / Ich transpiriere.)

Additionally, some learners try to make it a reflexive verb (e.g., 'ich transpiriere mich'), which is incorrect. It is a simple intransitive verb. You also shouldn't confuse the noun Transpiration with Inspiration. While they sound similar, one involves your sweat glands and the other your creative mind! Finally, remember the spelling: it's '-pirieren', not '-perieren'. The 'i' is crucial for the correct pronunciation and derivation from the Latin 'spirare'.

To truly master the concept of sweating in German, you need to know the alternatives and how they differ from transpirieren. The German language has several ways to describe moisture on the skin, each with its own nuance and level of intensity. Knowing which one to pick will make your German sound much more natural and precise.

schwitzen: The universal, neutral word for sweating. Use this in 95% of all daily situations. It can be used for people, animals, and even metaphorically (e.g., 'Blut und Wasser schwitzen' - to be extremely nervous).
ausdünsten: This means 'to exude' or 'to emanate'. It often refers to the smell that comes with sweating or the process of a substance (like alcohol or garlic) leaving the body through the pores. It can sometimes have a slightly negative or 'smelly' connotation.
feucht werden: Literally 'to become moist'. This is a very mild way to describe the beginning of perspiration, often used in sports or when describing the weather's effect on the skin.
Schweiß absondern: A more technical/biological phrase meaning 'to secrete sweat'. You'll find this in scientific reports or detailed medical descriptions.

Während man beim Sport einfach nur schwitzt, würde ein Biologe sagen, dass der Körper transpiriert.

In summary, choose schwitzen for everyday life, transpirieren for formal or medical contexts, and ausdünsten if you are talking about the smell or the chemical release. If you want to be very polite and avoid the word 'sweat' altogether, you might say someone is 'erhitzt' (heated up), which implies they might be sweating without actually saying it.

Yes, they both mean to sweat. However, 'transpirieren' is much more formal and clinical. You would use 'schwitzen' in daily life and 'transpirieren' in a doctor's office or a formal report. Using 'transpirieren' with friends might make you sound a bit pretentious or funny.

Use it in professional settings, medical contexts, or when writing formally. For example, in a pharmacy, you might ask for a product against 'starkes Transpirieren'. If you are writing a biology essay, use 'transpirieren' to describe the cooling process of the human body.

It is a regular weak verb. Present: ich transpiriere, du transpirierst, er transpiriert. Past: ich transpirierte. Perfect: ich habe transpiriert. It follows the standard pattern of verbs ending in '-ieren'.

Yes, in a biological sense, any animal that has sweat glands can transpirieren. However, in common German, we usually use 'schwitzen' for animals too, or specific terms like 'hecheln' (panting) for dogs since they don't sweat through their skin like humans do.

It is common in written German and formal speech, but you won't hear it much in the streets or at the gym. It's a 'B1 level' word because it shows you understand the difference between informal and formal registers.

Yes, the noun is 'die Transpiration'. It is feminine and is used to describe the act or state of perspiring. For example: 'Die Transpiration hilft bei der Abkühlung.'

'Transpirieren' is the clean, medical term for sweating. 'Ausdünsten' often refers to the smell or the chemicals (like alcohol or garlic) that leave the body through the skin. 'Ausdünsten' can sometimes sound a bit more negative.

It is very rare because it is an intransitive verb. You might see it in very technical writing like 'Es wird transpiriert', but generally, it is used in the active voice with the person as the subject.

Both words come from the same Latin root 'transpirare'. Many formal German words that end in '-ieren' have English cognates that come from Latin or French, making them easier for English speakers to recognize.
