Projekt: Von A bis Z (H)

And today I am at "H" in my attempt to blog through the alphabet auf Deutsch.  A through G are in the previous posts.
The object of this project is to write all the words you can think of in a short period of time for each subject.




Foods:  das Hähnchen (the chicken)

Animals:  der Hase (the rabbit), der Hahn (the rooster), das Huhn (the hen), der Hummer (the lobster), der Hund (the dog)

Common Names:  Heidi, Hans, Heinz, Helmut, Hedwig, Hildegard, Hilde/Hilda, Heike, Harald, Herbert

Cities:  Hannover, Hammeln, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Hanau

beautiful Heidelberg castle

Words you may recognize:  das Haus, das Hotel, die Hand, der Hammer, Hallo!, Halt!

verbs:  haben (to have), hören (to hear), helfen (to help)

companies/brands:  Haribo (candy), Henkel (cutlery)

tongue twister:
 Hottentottenpotentatentantenattentat
Hottentot potentate's aunt assassination. (Note: This long, humorous German word uses only seven letters of the alphabet. The correct term for "Hottentot" is actually "Khoi-Khoi," a now virtually extinct African tribe in what is now Namibia, formerly German South-West Africa.)
