Ich habe gefurzt
In German, "I farted" is said as Ich habe gefurzt.
The phrase is used to admit that one has released gas from the digestive system through the anus.
Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
Ich habe gefurzt uses the standard, colloquial verb for farting. If you need a highly formal or clinical way to express the same action, you can say Ich habe Darmgase entlassen, which literally translates to "I have released intestinal gases".
