Ich mag Zehen
The English phrase "I like toes" is translated into German as Ich mag Zehen.
Did you know?
- In German culture, mentioning a preference for toes might be viewed as an unusual 'Fetisch' (fetish), a word that was actually adopted into English from German.
- The verb mag comes from mögen, which in modern German can also mean 'to be allowed to' or 'to have permission', unlike its primary meaning of 'to like'.
- While Ich mag Zehen is grammatically correct, a German speaker might use the verb gefallen to describe an aesthetic appreciation of toes, which changes the sentence structure entirely.
Examples in context
- Ich mag Zehen sehr gerne.I really like toes.
- Zehen find ich cool, aber die Schuhe auch!I think toes are cool, but the shoes are too!
- Ich mag Zehen.I like toes.
- Warum sagst du das? Ich mag Zehen.Why do you say that? I like toes.
