意味
To have strong expectations for a positive outcome.
文化的背景
In German business culture, 'große Hoffnungen hegen' is often used in press releases to signal stability and long-term planning. It avoids the 'hype' often found in English-speaking markets. Austrians might use this phrase with a touch more 'Höflichkeit' (politeness) in administrative contexts. It sounds very 'beamtendeutsch' (civil servant German) in a respectful way. In Swiss High German, the phrase is equally common in formal contexts, especially in political discussions regarding neutrality or international treaties. Classic German literature (Goethe, Schiller) uses 'hegen' to describe the internal soul. It's a key word for understanding the 'Innerlichkeit' (inwardness) of German Romanticism.
Use with 'berechtigt'
Pair it with 'berechtigt' (justified) to sound even more professional: 'Wir hegen berechtigte Hoffnungen...'
Don't overdo it
Using 'hegen' too much in one conversation can make you sound stiff. Mix it with 'hoffen' or 'glauben'.

The 'Groll' connection
Remember that 'hegen' is also the standard verb for 'Groll' (grudge). It's about any feeling you 'keep' inside for a long time.

14 問Yes, but it sounds very poetic. In 99% of cases, use the plural 'Hoffnungen'.
Mostly, but it's also used for 'Zweifel' (doubts) and 'Groll' (grudges).
'Hegen' is about protecting; 'pflegen' is about active care. They are often used together: 'hegen und pflegen'.
No, it's too formal for most texts. Use 'Ich hoffe' instead.
Yes, 'einen Wunsch hegen' is possible and very elegant.
Use 'auf' for the object of hope. 'Ich hege Hoffnungen auf Erfolg'.

A little bit, but in a 'sophisticated' way, not an 'obsolete' way.
'Hoffnungslos sein' or 'alle Hoffnung aufgeben' (to give up all hope).
