설명 lackieren in your Level:

At the A1 level, learners should recognize 'lackieren' primarily in the context of personal grooming. It is one of the first specific verbs you might learn when talking about daily routines or beauty. You will mostly see it used with 'die Nägel' (the nails). At this stage, you don't need to worry about complex industrial uses. Just remember that if you want to say 'I paint my nails,' the German way is 'Ich lackiere meine Nägel.' You might also see it in very basic descriptions of toys or simple objects, like 'Das Auto ist rot lackiert' (The car is painted red). The focus is on the present tense and the basic idea of adding color to a small, hard surface. You should distinguish it from 'malen,' which you use for drawing pictures in school or for fun. If you use a small brush and the result is shiny, 'lackieren' is your friend.

At the A2 level, your understanding of 'lackieren' expands to include household items and hobbies. You might talk about 'einen Tisch lackieren' (lacquering a table) or 'ein Fahrrad lackieren' (painting a bike). You will start using the perfect tense: 'Ich habe das Regal lackiert.' You should also begin to notice the difference between 'lackieren' and 'streichen.' While 'streichen' is for your room's walls, 'lackieren' is for the furniture or metal parts. You'll also encounter the noun 'der Lack' (the lacquer/paint). At A2, you can use basic adverbs to describe the process, like 'vorsichtig' (carefully) or 'neu' (newly/again). You might also see it in simple instructions, such as 'Zuerst reinigen, dann lackieren.' This level is about moving beyond just nails to the world of DIY and basic maintenance.

By B1, you are expected to use 'lackieren' in more complex sentence structures, including the passive voice, which is very common with this verb. For example, 'Das Auto muss neu lackiert werden' (The car must be repainted). You will also use it in professional or semi-professional contexts, such as describing a job or a technical process. You should be familiar with related words like 'die Lackierung' (the paint job/coating) and 'der Lackierer' (the painter/lacquerer). You might discuss the pros and cons of different finishes—'glänzend' vs. 'matt.' At this stage, you should also be comfortable with reflexive usage: 'Sich die Nägel lackieren lassen' (to have one's nails painted). Your vocabulary starts to include specific types of lacquer, like 'Klarlack' (clear coat) or 'Farblack' (colored lacquer).

At the B2 level, 'lackieren' becomes a tool for detailed description and technical discussion. You might read about 'Oberflächenveredelung' (surface refinement) in a business or technical text. You should understand the nuances between 'lackieren,' 'lasieren,' and 'beschichten.' You'll encounter the verb in more abstract or idiomatic contexts, though 'lackieren' itself is mostly literal. You might hear the phrase 'den Lack abhaben' (to have the lacquer off), which idiomatically means something is no longer new or has lost its charm. You can discuss environmental aspects, such as 'wasserbasierter Lack' (water-based lacquer) vs. 'Lösungsmittel' (solvents). Your ability to use the verb in all tenses and moods, including the subjunctive ('Wenn ich Zeit hätte, würde ich den Schrank lackieren'), should be fluent.

At the C1 level, you use 'lackieren' with the precision of a native speaker or a professional. You understand the chemical and industrial implications of the word. You might encounter it in architectural critiques, discussing the 'hochglanzlackierte Fassade' of a modern building. You are aware of the word's role in 'Fachsprache' (specialized language), such as in the automotive industry or high-end furniture design. You can distinguish between 'Spritzlackieren' (spray painting) and 'Tauchlackieren' (dip coating). You also recognize the word in literature where it might be used to describe a superficial or 'polished' appearance of a character or a situation. Your usage is effortless, and you can explain the subtle differences between various coating techniques to others.

At the C2 level, 'lackieren' is just one of many specialized verbs in your repertoire. You can use it in highly technical, academic, or literary contexts. You might analyze the use of 'Lack' as a metaphor for societal veneers in a 19th-century novel or a modern social commentary. You understand the historical development of the word from its roots in 'Lacc' (resin). In a professional setting, you could lead a discussion on the sustainability of different 'Lackierverfahren' (lacquering processes) or the legal regulations regarding 'Lackemissionen' (lacquer emissions). You have a complete grasp of all compound words and derivatives, and you can use the verb to express the finest nuances of surface quality, aesthetics, and protection in any given context.

lackieren 30초 만에

Lackieren is a German verb meaning to coat a surface with lacquer, varnish, or paint, typically for protection or a glossy aesthetic finish.
It is primarily used for cars, furniture, and fingernails, distinguishing it from the general painting of walls (streichen) or artistic painting (malen).
Grammatically, it is a regular verb using 'haben' in the perfect tense. It often appears in passive constructions in technical or industrial contexts.
Common results of lackieren include 'glänzend' (glossy) or 'matt' (matte) surfaces. It is an essential word for DIY, automotive, and beauty topics.

The German verb lackieren is a specific and essential term used when discussing the application of a protective or decorative coating—lacquer, varnish, or specialized paint—to a surface. Unlike the more general verb malen (to paint a picture) or streichen (to paint a wall or a fence), lackieren implies a professional, smooth, often glossy, and durable finish. It is the word of choice in three primary domains of German life: automotive care, personal grooming (specifically nails), and high-quality woodworking or industrial manufacturing.

The Automotive Context: In Germany, a nation famous for its automotive engineering, lackieren is a high-frequency word. When a car is scratched or needs a new color, it is taken to a Lackiererei (paint shop). The process involves multiple layers, and the precision required is reflected in the use of this specific verb. One does not simply 'paint' a BMW; one lackiert it to ensure the factory-standard sheen and weather resistance.
Cosmetics and Beauty: If you go to a salon in Berlin or Munich for a manicure, you will hear the verb lackieren constantly. Sich die Nägel lackieren (to paint one's nails) uses this verb because nail polish is essentially a type of lacquer (Nagellack). It suggests the application of a quick-drying, hardening liquid that provides color and shine.
Furniture and Craftsmanship: In the world of Schreinerei (carpentry), lackieren refers to applying a clear or colored varnish to wood. This step is crucial for protecting the material from moisture and wear. While lasieren refers to a thinner glaze that lets the wood grain show through, lackieren usually implies a thicker, more opaque, or highly protective layer.

Ich muss mein altes Fahrrad neu lackieren, damit es nicht rostet.

Translation: I need to repaint (lacquer) my old bicycle so that it doesn't rust.

Understanding the nuance of lackieren involves recognizing the surface texture. If the result is meant to be hard, smooth, and industrial or cosmetic, use lackieren. If you are painting a canvas, use malen. If you are slapping white paint on a bedroom wall with a roller, use streichen. This distinction is a hallmark of German precision in language, where the method and the material dictate the verb choice.

Der Fachmann hat die Tür glänzend schwarz lackiert.

Translation: The specialist lacquered the door in a glossy black.

Grammatically, lackieren is a weak (regular) verb, which makes it relatively easy for learners to conjugate. It follows the standard pattern: ich lackiere, du lackierst, er/sie/es lackiert. In the perfect tense, it uses the auxiliary verb haben and the past participle lackiert. Because it is a transitive verb, it almost always requires a direct object in the accusative case—the thing that is being coated.

Direct Objects (Akkusativ): Common objects include das Auto, die Fingernägel, den Tisch, das Gehäuse (the casing), or die Karosserie (the car body). Example: 'Er lackiert den Schrank (Akkusativ).'
Describing the Result: Often, adverbs are used to describe the quality of the finish. Matt (matte), glänzend (glossy), farbig (colored), or transparent (clear) are frequent companions. 'Wir haben den Holzboden matt lackiert.'

Hast du dir die Nägel rot lackiert?

Translation: Did you paint your nails red?

One interesting structural aspect is the use of um- or neu- as prefixes. While lackieren is the base, umzulackieren means to change the color (to repaint), and neu zu lackieren means to apply a fresh coat of the same or new lacquer. In German, precision in describing the state of an object is key. If a car has its original paint, it is originallackiert.

Die Bauteile werden in der Fabrik automatisiert lackiert.

Translation: The components are lacquered automatically in the factory.

In passive constructions, which are common in technical manuals, you will see: 'Die Oberfläche muss vor dem Lackieren gereinigt werden' (The surface must be cleaned before lacquering). Here, Lackieren is a nominalized verb (a gerund), acting as a noun.

You will encounter lackieren in several distinct environments. First, in any Kfz-Werkstatt (car repair shop). If you have a 'Parkrempler' (a minor parking bump), the mechanic will discuss whether the bumper needs to be beilackiert (partially repainted) or fully lackiert. The cost of 'Lackierung' is a major part of car maintenance discussions in Germany.

At the Nail Salon (Nagelstudio): 'Möchten Sie die Nägel nur gefeilt oder auch lackiert haben?' (Would you like the nails just filed or also painted?) This is a standard question. You might also hear about Gellack or UV-Lack, which are specific types of coatings.
DIY and Home Improvement (Baumarkt): In stores like OBI or Bauhaus, you will find aisles dedicated to Lacken und Lasuren. Sales associates will ask: 'Was möchten Sie lackieren?' to determine if you need heat-resistant lacquer for a radiator or weather-proof varnish for garden furniture.

Der Oldtimer wurde aufwendig von Hand lackiert.

Translation: The vintage car was elaborately lacquered by hand.

In the industrial sector, lackieren is part of the 'Oberflächentechnik' (surface technology). Large-scale production of appliances (refrigerators, washing machines) involves Pulverbeschichten (powder coating), which is a specific form of lackieren. If you work in manufacturing, this word will be central to your vocabulary regarding finishing touches and quality control.

Ich kann mir die Nägel nicht selbst lackieren, ich zittere zu sehr.

Translation: I can't paint my nails myself; I shake too much.

The most frequent mistake English speakers make is using malen or streichen when they should use lackieren. While English uses 'paint' for almost everything, German is much more specific about the substance and the surface.

Mistake: Using 'malen' for cars or nails: If you say 'Ich male mein Auto,' a German will imagine you with an easel and a brush, painting a picture of a car, or perhaps painting flowers on the side of the car. To say you are applying a protective coat of paint, you MUST use lackieren.
Mistake: Using 'streichen' for nails: Streichen implies a back-and-forth motion with a brush, usually on a large surface like a wall. Saying 'Ich streiche meine Nägel' sounds like you are using a house paint roller on your fingers. It's technically understandable but sounds very strange.

Falsch: Ich male mir die Nägel.
Richtig: Ich lackiere mir die Nägel.

Another mistake involves the reflexive pronoun. Beginners often forget the mir when talking about their own body parts. In German, you don't 'paint your nails' (possessive); you 'paint to yourself the nails' (dative reflexive). 'Ich lackiere meine Nägel' is acceptable but 'Ich lackiere mir die Nägel' is much more natural.

Soll ich den Tisch lackieren oder nur ölen?

Translation: Should I lacquer the table or just oil it?

German has a rich vocabulary for surface treatments. Depending on the material and desired outcome, you might choose a different verb than lackieren. Understanding these nuances will make your German sound much more sophisticated.

Streichen vs. Lackieren: Streichen is for walls, ceilings, and fences. It uses 'Wandfarbe' (wall paint). Lackieren is for hard surfaces like metal, plastic, or finished wood. If you use a brush on a wall, you streichst; if you use a spray can or a fine brush on a model car, you lackierst.
Lasieren: This is specifically for wood. A Lasur is a translucent stain. It protects the wood but lets the grain remain visible. Lack usually creates an airtight, often opaque seal.
Anstreichen: A synonym for streichen, often used for houses or larger structures. 'Das Haus neu anstreichen.'
Beschichten: A more technical term meaning 'to coat'. This is used in industrial contexts for any type of coating (teflon, powder, zinc).

Wir haben die Fensterrahmen weiß lackiert, aber die Wände blau gestrichen.

Translation: We lacquered the window frames white but painted the walls blue.

In the context of nails, you might hear auftragen (to apply), as in 'Nagellack auftragen'. However, lackieren remains the most common verb for the whole process. If you want to talk about removing the lacquer, the verb is ablackieren or simply entfernen (to remove).

How Formal Is It?

재미있는 사실

The 'lac' insect is so tiny that it takes thousands of them to produce a significant amount of resin. The Sanskrit word 'lākṣā' also means 'one hundred thousand', reflecting the huge numbers of insects involved.

팁

Regular Conjugation

All German verbs ending in '-ieren' are regular and never use 'ge-' in the past participle. So it is 'lackiert', not 'gelackiert'.

The Big Three

Remember: Malen (Art), Streichen (Walls), Lackieren (Objects/Nails). Using the right one makes you sound fluent.

Long 'ie'

Make sure to hold the 'ie' sound. It should sound like 'ee' in 'seen'. 'Lack-EE-ren'.

Nail Care

In a German nail salon, 'lackieren' is the standard term. You don't 'paint' (malen) your nails there.

Car Talk

If you have a car accident in Germany, the 'Lackierung' is often the most expensive part of the repair. Use this word with the mechanic.

Preparation

Before you 'lackieren', you usually have to 'schleifen' (sand) and 'grundieren' (prime). These three words go together in DIY.

Describing Finishes

Always add 'matt' or 'glänzend' to your sentence to sound more descriptive: 'Ich lackiere den Tisch matt'.

Compound Nouns

German loves compounds. 'Nagellack' (nail polish), 'Autolack' (car paint), 'Klarlack' (clear coat).

Recognizing the Root

When you hear 'Lack', you know it's about a coating. The verb 'lackieren' just adds the action.

Metaphorical Use

'Der Lack ist ab' is a great idiom to use when something is no longer as good or beautiful as it used to be.

암기하기

기억법

Think of 'Lacquer' in English. The German 'lackieren' is the verb form. If you 'lack' color on your nails, you 'lackieren' them!

시각적 연상

Imagine a shiny red sports car being sprayed in a booth. The sound of the spray and the gloss appearing is 'lackieren'.

Word Web

Auto Nägel Möbel Pinsel Farbe Glanz Schutz Werkstatt

챌린지

Try to describe three things in your house that are 'lackiert' and three things that are 'gestrichen'.

어원

The word 'lackieren' comes from the noun 'Lack', which entered German in the 16th century via the Italian 'lacca' and the French 'laque'.

원래 의미: The root is the Sanskrit word 'lākṣā', referring to a resinous secretion from the lac insect used to produce red dye and shellac.

Indo-European (Sanskrit -> Persian -> Arabic -> Medieval Latin -> Romance languages -> Germanic languages).

문화적 맥락

No specific sensitivities, but be aware that 'den Lack abhaben' can be a slightly rude way to describe someone's aging appearance.

In English, 'painting' covers many activities that German splits into 'malen', 'streichen', and 'lackieren'. English speakers often default to 'paint' and need to learn this distinction.

German car commercials often highlight the 'Metallic-Lackierung'. The DIY culture in Germany (Selbermachen) often features 'Lackieren' tutorials on YouTube. Songs about beauty routines often mention 'Nägel lackieren'.
