解説 wunderschön in your Level:

At the A1 level, you are just starting to learn how to describe the world around you. 'Wunderschön' is a great 'power word' to add to your vocabulary early on. You should focus on using it in its simplest form: at the end of a sentence after the word 'ist' (is). For example, 'Das Wetter ist wunderschön' (The weather is beautiful). At this stage, don't worry too much about complex grammar or changing the endings. Just remember that 'wunderschön' is a much stronger version of 'schön'. If you see a flower you like, it's 'schön'. If you see a sunset that makes you stop and stare, it's 'wunderschön'. You can also use it to say thank you for a gift or a nice experience. Even with limited German, saying 'Das ist wunderschön!' shows a lot of emotion and appreciation. Practice saying it with a smile, as the 'ö' sound can be tricky. Try to use it to describe things you see in your daily life, like a park, a building, or a picture. It's a very positive word that will always make people happy to hear. You might also hear it in simple greetings, like 'Einen wunderschönen guten Morgen!' (A wonderful good morning!). Even if you don't understand every word in a sentence, hearing 'wunderschön' tells you that something very positive is being discussed. Focus on the feeling of the word—it's about wonder and beauty combined into one.

At the A2 level, you should begin to use 'wunderschön' in more varied sentence structures. This is where you start learning about adjective endings. When 'wunderschön' comes before a noun, you must add a small ending to it. For example, 'ein wunderschöner Tag' (a beautiful day) or 'eine wunderschöne Blume' (a beautiful flower). Pay attention to the gender of the noun (der, die, das) because that determines the ending. You will also use 'wunderschön' with the verb 'aussehen' (to look/appear). Remember that 'aussehen' is a separable verb, so the 'aus' goes to the end: 'Du siehst wunderschön aus' (You look gorgeous). This is a very common compliment. At A2, you are also learning to talk about past experiences. You might say, 'Der Urlaub war wunderschön' (The vacation was beautiful). You can use it to describe your home, your family, or places you have visited. It's also a good word to use in simple emails or postcards. If you are writing to a friend about your trip to Berlin, you could write: 'Berlin ist eine wunderschöne Stadt.' Using 'wunderschön' instead of just 'schön' makes your German sound more expressive and natural. You're starting to move beyond basic facts and into expressing your feelings about the things you encounter. Practice the declension (the endings) carefully, as this is the main challenge at this level. If you get the ending right, you'll sound much more advanced than an A1 learner.

By the B1 level, you should be comfortable using 'wunderschön' in almost any basic context. You should be able to handle all the different adjective endings in various cases (nominative, accusative, dative). For example, 'Ich schenke dir diese wunderschönen Blumen' (I am giving you these beautiful flowers - accusative plural). At this level, you can also start using 'wunderschön' in subordinate clauses, where the verb moves to the end of the sentence. For example: 'Ich freue mich, dass wir so wunderschönes Wetter haben' (I'm happy that we have such beautiful weather). You should also understand the difference between 'wunderschön' and other similar words like 'wunderbar' or 'herrlich'. Use 'wunderschön' specifically for aesthetic beauty. You might use it to describe a piece of music, a poem, or a deep emotional experience. B1 learners should also be able to use it as an adverb: 'Sie kann wunderschön Klavier spielen' (She can play the piano beautifully). This level is about nuance and combining 'wunderschön' with other descriptive language. You might say 'einfach wunderschön' or 'wirklich wunderschön' to add emphasis. You are no longer just describing things; you are conveying a specific intensity of feeling. In your writing, use it to set the scene in a story or to describe a memorable event in a personal letter. It's a word that adds color and emotion to your growing German vocabulary, helping you bridge the gap between simple communication and more meaningful expression.

At the B2 level, you should have a sophisticated grasp of 'wunderschön'. You can use it fluently in complex sentences and understand its role in creating a specific tone. You might use it in more formal contexts, such as describing an 'architektonisch wunderschönes Gebäude' (an architecturally beautiful building). You should also be aware of how 'wunderschön' is used in literature and media. For example, in a news report about a cultural festival, you might hear it used to describe the atmosphere. At B2, you should also be able to use the word ironically or in more abstract ways, though 'wunderschön' is almost always positive. You should also be comfortable with the nominalized form 'das Wunderschöne' (the beautiful/beauty itself), although it's more common in philosophical or artistic discussions. For example: 'Das Wunderschöne an diesem Plan ist seine Einfachheit' (The beautiful thing about this plan is its simplicity). You can also use it to describe voices, scents, or even mathematical proofs. Your focus at this level should be on the 'collocations'—which words naturally go with 'wunderschön'. Phrases like 'eine wunderschöne Geste' (a beautiful gesture) or 'ein wunderschöner Moment' (a beautiful moment) should come naturally to you. You are now using the word not just to describe objects, but to describe interactions and abstract concepts. This shows a high level of linguistic and cultural competence.

At the C1 level, you use 'wunderschön' with the precision of a native speaker. You understand that while it is a common word, its impact comes from its selective use. You can distinguish between 'wunderschön' and its more literary or specialized synonyms like 'anmutig', 'prachtvoll', or 'erhaben'. You might use 'wunderschön' in a critique of a film or a book to describe the cinematography or the prose style. You are also capable of using it in high-level academic or professional discussions about aesthetics, marketing, or design. For example, you might discuss the 'wunderschöne Symmetrie' of a design. You also understand the cultural weight the word carries, perhaps referencing the German Romantic tradition where the 'wunderbare' was a key concept. In your own speech and writing, you use 'wunderschön' to create emotional resonance and to provide vivid, high-impact descriptions. You are also aware of regional variations in how such adjectives are used, although 'wunderschön' is standard across all German-speaking countries. You can use it in complex grammatical structures, such as passive voice or with various modal verbs, without hesitation. For example: 'Es hätte wunderschön sein können' (It could have been beautiful). Your use of the word is now part of a broad and nuanced toolkit for expression, allowing you to convey subtle shades of meaning and deep levels of appreciation.

練習する例文メモとヒント

wunderschön 30秒で

Wunderschön is the German word for 'gorgeous' or 'extremely beautiful', combining the concepts of 'wonder' and 'beauty' into one powerful adjective.
It is much stronger than the basic word 'schön' and should be reserved for things that are truly impressive or emotionally moving.
Grammatically, it functions as a standard adjective, requiring specific endings when placed before a noun, but staying unchanged when used after a verb.
Commonly used in contexts like nature, travel, weddings, and art, it conveys a sense of awe and deep aesthetic appreciation.

The German word wunderschön is a powerful and evocative adjective that goes far beyond the simple English 'pretty' or 'nice'. It is a compound word formed from Wunder (miracle or wonder) and schön (beautiful). When a German speaker uses this word, they are expressing a deep sense of aesthetic appreciation that borders on the miraculous. It is the kind of beauty that stops you in your tracks, whether it is a breathtaking sunset over the Alps, a perfectly composed piece of classical music, or the sight of a loved one after a long absence.

Intensity: This word is significantly stronger than 'schön'. While 'schön' is the standard word for 'beautiful', adding the prefix 'wunder-' elevates it to 'gorgeous' or 'exquisite'.

Der Ausblick vom Gipfel des Berges war einfach wunderschön.

In everyday life, you will hear this word used to describe nature, art, experiences, and people. However, Germans tend to be more reserved with high-intensity adjectives than English speakers. While an American might call a sandwich 'awesome', a German would rarely call a snack 'wunderschön'. This word is reserved for things that truly possess a quality of wonder. It is frequently used in the context of travel, romantic settings, and when describing children or significant life events like weddings.

Emotional Resonance: The word carries an emotional weight of gratitude and awe. It suggests that the beauty described is a gift or a rare occurrence.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Abend zusammen.

Linguistically, 'wunderschön' functions as an absolute adjective in many minds, though it can be declined like any other adjective. It is often used predicatively (after the verb 'to be') to make a strong statement about a situation. For instance, after a concert, a person might sigh and say, 'Das war einfach wunderschön.' This usage encapsulates the entire experience, not just the visual aspect of the performers.

Social Context: It is a safe, polite, and yet deeply expressive word. It is appropriate in formal letters of thanks, in intimate conversations, and in casual praise of scenery.

Sie trägt ein wunderschönes Kleid.

Historically, the German Romantic movement placed a high value on the 'sublime' and the 'wondrous'. 'Wunderschön' captures this cultural heritage, where nature is seen as a source of spiritual and aesthetic inspiration. When you use this word, you are tapping into a long tradition of German appreciation for the sublime. It is not just a word; it is a cultural stance of appreciation for the finer, more miraculous details of the world around us.

Die Musik von Bach ist wunderschön.

Vielen Dank für die wunderschönen Blumen.

Using wunderschön correctly requires an understanding of German adjective endings (declension). Because it is an adjective, its ending changes based on the gender, case, and number of the noun it describes, as well as the type of article (definite, indefinite, or none) preceding it. This can be one of the most challenging aspects for English speakers, but 'wunderschön' is a perfect word to practice these patterns because it is so common in descriptive prose.

Attributive Use: When the word comes before the noun, it must match. For example: 'ein wunderschöner Garten' (masculine), 'eine wunderschöne Frau' (feminine), 'ein wunderschönes Haus' (neuter), 'wunderschöne Blumen' (plural).

Wir haben eine wunderschöne Aussicht auf den See.

When used predicatively, which means after a verb like 'sein' (to be) or 'werden' (to become), the word does not take any endings. This is the simplest way to use it and is very common in spoken German. You can simply say 'Das ist wunderschön' or 'Du siehst wunderschön aus'. Note that in the latter example, 'aussehen' (to look/appear) is a separable verb, so the 'aus' goes to the end of the sentence.

With Adverbs: You can intensify 'wunderschön' even further with adverbs like 'wirklich' (really), 'absolut' (absolutely), or 'einfach' (simply). Phrases like 'einfach wunderschön' are extremely common in German conversation.

Das Konzert war einfach wunderschön.

In more advanced usage, 'wunderschön' can be used as an adverb to describe how an action is performed, although this is less common than its use as an adjective. For example, 'Sie singt wunderschön' (She sings beautifully). Here, it functions to describe the quality of the singing itself. Because German often uses the same form for adjectives and adverbs when they aren't before a noun, the word remains 'wunderschön'.

Negation: To negate it, use 'nicht'. 'Das ist nicht wunderschön' sounds quite harsh, almost sarcastic, because the word itself is so positive. A more natural way to say something isn't beautiful is to use a different word entirely.

Es war ein wunderschön gestalteter Garten.

Pay attention to the placement in complex sentences. In a subordinate clause, the verb will move to the end, but 'wunderschön' will stay near the noun or the verb it modifies. For example: 'Ich denke, dass dieser Ort wunderschön ist.' (I think that this place is beautiful). Mastery of this word involves not just knowing the meaning, but feeling the rhythm of where it fits in the emotional arc of a German sentence.

An einem wunderschönen Sommertag gingen wir spazieren.

Ihre Stimme klingt wunderschön.

In the German-speaking world, wunderschön is a staple of travel documentaries, tourism brochures, and nature photography. If you turn on a German TV channel like ZDF or ARD and watch a program about the Black Forest or the Baltic Sea, you are guaranteed to hear the narrator describe the landscape as 'wunderschön'. It is the go-to word for capturing the scenic grandeur of the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland).

Tourism and Travel: Hotels often advertise 'wunderschöne Zimmer' (gorgeous rooms) or a 'wunderschöne Lage' (beautiful location). It is a key marketing term used to evoke a sense of luxury and peace.

Willkommen in unserem wunderschönen Hotel am See.

Social events are another prime location for this word. At weddings, guests will invariably tell the bride, 'Du siehst wunderschön aus!' (You look gorgeous!). When looking at baby photos, friends will exclaim, 'Was für ein wunderschönes Baby!' It serves as a high-tier compliment that signifies genuine admiration rather than just polite acknowledgment. In these contexts, using 'schön' might feel slightly understated, while 'wunderschön' hits the right emotional note.

Art and Culture: In museums or at the opera, you will hear people whispering about 'wunderschöne Kunstwerke' or 'wunderschöne Melodien'. It is the language of aesthetic appreciation.

Das ist ein wunderschönes Gedicht von Goethe.

Literature and fairy tales (Märchen) are also filled with this word. From the Brothers Grimm to modern novels, 'wunderschön' is used to describe enchanted forests, hidden treasures, and princess-like figures. This gives the word a slightly magical, timeless quality. When you use it, you are unconsciously echoing centuries of German storytelling. It is also common in holiday greetings; for example, 'Ich wünsche dir eine wunderschöne Weihnachtszeit' (I wish you a wonderful Christmas time).

Everyday Gratitude: You will hear it when people receive gifts. 'Oh, das ist wunderschön! Danke!' is a standard reaction to a thoughtful present.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub in Italien.

Finally, in modern digital spaces like Instagram or Pinterest, German users frequently tag photos of sunsets, architecture, or interior design with #wunderschön. It has become a universal tag for 'aesthetic' content. Whether in the high-brow world of literature or the fast-paced world of social media, 'wunderschön' remains the ultimate German descriptor for that which is truly pleasing to the eye and the soul.

Die Alpen sind im Winter wunderschön.

Ein wunderschönes neues Jahr!

One of the most frequent mistakes learners make with wunderschön is overusing it. While it is a lovely word, German culture generally values precision and moderation. If you describe every cup of coffee, every bus ride, and every weather report as 'wunderschön', the word loses its impact and you might sound a bit 'over the top' or insincere to native speakers. Save it for things that truly deserve the 'wonder' prefix.

Confusion with 'Wunderbar': Learners often confuse 'wunderschön' with 'wunderbar'. While they are similar, 'wunderbar' translates more closely to 'wonderful' in the sense of 'great' or 'fantastic' (e.g., a wonderful idea), whereas 'wunderschön' is specifically about beauty and aesthetic appeal.

Das ist eine wunderbare Idee! (Correct for 'great idea', not 'wunderschöne').

Another technical error involves adjective declension. Many students forget that 'wunderschön' is a single word and try to treat 'wunder' as a separate prefix that doesn't affect the ending. This is incorrect. The entire word 'wunderschön' must take the appropriate ending. For instance, beginners might say 'ein wunderschön Tag', forgetting the 'er' ending for a masculine nominative noun: 'ein wunderschöner Tag'.

Incorrect Comparison: Because 'wunderschön' already contains the intensifying 'wunder-', it is logically an absolute. Saying 'mehr wunderschön' or 'wunderschöner' is technically possible but often sounds redundant to native ears. If something is more beautiful than 'wunderschön', you might need a different superlative entirely.

Sie sieht wunderschön aus. (Not 'wunderschönlich' or other invented forms).

A subtle mistake is the placement of the word when using it with the verb 'aussehen'. Remember that 'aussehen' is a separable verb. A learner might say 'Du wunderschön aussiehst', which is incorrect word order in a main clause. The correct form is 'Du siehst wunderschön aus'. The adjective must sit between the conjugated verb and the separable prefix at the end.

Capitalization: As an adjective, 'wunderschön' is only capitalized at the beginning of a sentence or if it's being used as a nominalized noun (e.g., 'das Wunderschöne'), which is rare in everyday speech.

Das Wunderschöne an diesem Film ist die Musik.

Finally, be careful with pronunciation. The 'u' in 'wunder' is short, and the 'ö' in 'schön' is a long, rounded vowel that doesn't exist in English. Many learners pronounce 'schön' like 'shone' or 'shun', which can make the word unrecognizable or change its meaning. Practice the 'ö' sound by positioning your tongue for 'ay' but rounding your lips for 'oh'.

Das war ein wunderschönes Erlebnis.

Ein wunderschöner Sonnenuntergang.

To truly master German, you need to know when to use wunderschön and when to opt for a synonym that might fit the context better. German is rich with adjectives for beauty, each with its own nuance. Understanding these differences will help you sound more like a native speaker and less like a textbook.

Schön vs. Wunderschön: 'Schön' is the basic 'beautiful'. Use it for everyday things. 'Wunderschön' is for the extraordinary. If 'schön' is a 7/10, 'wunderschön' is a 10/10.
Herrlich: Often translated as 'magnificent' or 'glorious'. It is frequently used for weather (ein herrliches Wetter) or food that is delightful. It feels slightly more energetic than 'wunderschön'.
Prachtvoll: Literally 'full of splendor'. This is used for architecture, palaces, or very ornate decorations. It implies a sense of grandeur and wealth.

Das Schloss ist prachtvoll dekoriert.

For describing people, you might use 'hübsch' (pretty/handsome), which is more casual and often used for younger people or attractive features. 'Attraktiv' is more modern and neutral. 'Wunderschön' when applied to a person is a very high compliment, often implying a deep, radiant beauty that goes beyond just physical features.

Entzückend: This means 'charming' or 'delightful'. It’s often used for things that are cute or endearing, like a small child or a quaint cottage. It’s less 'grand' than 'wunderschön'.
Malerisch: Meaning 'picturesque'. Use this specifically for landscapes or villages that look like they could be in a painting.

Ein malerisches Dorf in den Alpen.

In formal or literary contexts, you might encounter 'anmutig' (graceful) or 'erlesen' (exquisite/select). These words add a layer of sophistication. If you are writing a poem or a formal speech, 'anmutig' might be more precise than the broader 'wunderschön'. Conversely, in very casual youth slang, you might hear 'geil' or 'fett' (similar to 'cool' or 'sick'), but these should never be used as synonyms for 'wunderschön' in polite company!

Traumhaft: Literally 'dreamlike'. This is a very close synonym to 'wunderschön' and is often used for holidays, weddings, or weather. It suggests that the reality is so good it feels like a dream.

Das Wetter war traumhaft.

Choosing the right word shows your level of German. While 'wunderschön' is almost always a safe and high-quality choice, experimenting with 'herrlich', 'malerisch', or 'traumhaft' will make your descriptions more vivid and varied. Pay attention to how native speakers describe their surroundings, and you'll soon notice the subtle patterns that dictate which 'beautiful' word is best.

Eine entzückende kleine Katze.

Die Aussicht ist herrlich.

wunderschön vs wunderbar

Both start with 'wunder' and mean something positive.

Wunderbar is for 'fantastic' or 'great' (e.g., a wonderful idea). Wunderschön is for aesthetic beauty (e.g., a gorgeous view).

Die Idee ist wunderbar, aber die Aussicht hier ist wunderschön.

wunderschön vs hübsch

Both describe being attractive.

Hübsch is 'pretty' or 'cute', often used for people or small objects. Wunderschön is 'gorgeous' and much more intense.

Sie ist ein hübsches Mädchen, aber in diesem Kleid sieht sie wunderschön aus.

Both describe something magnificent.

Herrlich often relates to weather or general atmosphere. Wunderschön is more about the visual beauty itself.

Schön is common and moderate. Wunderschön is rare and intense.

よくある間違い

ein wunderschön Tag → ein wunderschöner Tag
You must add the masculine nominative ending '-er' when the adjective comes before a masculine noun with 'ein'.
Du wunderschön aussiehst. → Du siehst wunderschön aus.
In a main clause, the conjugated part of the separable verb 'aussehen' comes first, and the prefix 'aus' goes to the end.
Das ist eine wunderschöne Idee. → Das ist eine wunderbare Idee.
While 'wunderschön' is for visual beauty, 'wunderbar' is the standard word for 'wonderful' in the sense of 'great'.
Das Essen schmeckt wunderschön. → Das Essen schmeckt hervorragend.
'Wunderschön' is for appearance, not taste. Use 'lecker' or 'hervorragend' for flavor.
Ich bin wunderschön. → Ich sehe heute wunderschön aus.
Saying 'Ich bin wunderschön' can sound very arrogant. It's better to say how you 'look' (aussehen) in a specific context.

ヒント

Save it for the best

Don't over-use 'wunderschön'. If you use it for everything, it loses its magic. Use it when you are truly impressed.

Check the Endings

Always check the gender of the noun. 'Ein wunderschöner Garten' (masculine), 'Eine wunderschöne Blume' (feminine).

Round those lips

The 'ö' sound is key. If you don't round your lips, it won't sound right to a native speaker.

The Perfect Compliment

Saying 'Du siehst wunderschön aus' is one of the nicest compliments you can give in German.

Learn the family

Learning 'die Schönheit' (beauty) and 'das Wunder' (wonder) at the same time will help you remember 'wunderschön'.

Listen for emphasis

Speakers often put a lot of emotion into the first syllable 'WUN-'. This helps convey how much they like something.

Vary your adjectives

In a long description, mix 'wunderschön' with 'herrlich', 'toll', or 'beeindruckend' to keep your writing interesting.

Nature context

Germans love nature. 'Wunderschön' is the most common word you'll hear on a hiking trail.

Adverbial use

Using 'wunderschön' to describe singing or playing an instrument sounds very poetic and appreciative.

Compound trick

Remember: Wunder (Wonder) + Schön (Beautiful). It's a 'wonder-beauty'.

暗記しよう

記憶術

Think of a 'Wunder' (Wonder) that is 'schön' (beautiful). It's a 'Wonderfully beautiful' thing. WUNDER + SCHÖN = WUNDERSCHÖN.

視覚的連想

Imagine a bright, glowing miracle happening in the middle of a beautiful garden. That glowing feeling is the 'wunder' part of 'wunderschön'.

チャレンジ

Try to find three things today that you would describe as 'wunderschön' rather than just 'schön'. Write them down in German sentences.

語源

The word is a compound of the Middle High German words 'wunder' (miracle, marvel) and 'schœne' (bright, beautiful). The prefix 'wunder-' has been used for centuries in Germanic languages to add an intensive, miraculous quality to adjectives.

元の意味： Originally, it meant something that was beautiful in a way that seemed like a miracle from God.

Germanic (Indo-European)

文化的な背景

It is a very safe word. It is never offensive. However, avoid using it for people in a way that might seem overly objectifying in a professional setting; use 'attraktiv' or 'kompetent' instead.

English speakers often over-translate 'schön' as 'nice'. Using 'wunderschön' helps capture the 'gorgeous/stunning' level that 'nice' misses.

Wunderschön! - A popular travel show on German TV (WDR). Goethe's poems often use the concept of 'das Schöne' and 'das Wunderbare'. Many German folk songs (Volkslieder) use 'wunderschön' to describe the homeland or nature.

It is not very common. You would use it for the presentation (how the food looks), but for the taste, you should use 'lecker', 'hervorragend', or 'köstlich'. For example: 'Das Essen ist wunderschön angerichtet' (The food is beautifully presented).

Mostly, yes. However, it is also used for sounds (voices, music) and abstract things like moments, memories, or gestures. It is rarely used for smells or tastes.

'Schön' is the basic word for 'beautiful'. 'Wunderschön' is an intensified version, meaning 'gorgeous' or 'wonderfully beautiful'. Think of the difference between 'good' and 'amazing'.

Position your mouth as if you are going to say 'O' (rounded lips), but try to say the sound 'E' (as in 'bed'). It's a rounded front vowel.

It's grammatically okay, but native speakers rarely say it because 'wunderschön' is already very intense. It's like saying 'very gorgeous' in English.

Yes, if it comes before a noun. For example: 'ein wunderschöner Tag', 'eine wunderschöne Frau', 'ein wunderschönes Kind'. If it comes after 'ist', it stays 'wunderschön'.

Not necessarily more formal, but it is more expressive. You can use it in both casual and formal settings to show deep appreciation.

You can, but for men, 'gutaussehend' (good-looking) or 'attraktiv' (attractive) are more common. 'Wunderschön' for a man sounds very romantic or artistic.

Yes, 'Wunder' means 'wonder' or 'miracle'. So 'wunderschön' literally means 'miraculously beautiful'.

Yes, to describe how someone does something. For example: 'Sie singt wunderschön' (She sings beautifully).
