What does “Augenringe” mean in German?
Eine Woche auf dem Bauernhof in der Schweiz
B1 German listening practice · Swiss German · Picked for people who know some
Quarter past five on a Swiss farm, 34 cows waiting in the milking parlor, and the narrator already reports mega Augenringe — “eye rings,” the dark circles under your eyes. German just describes what it sees: rings around the eyes. It’s the standard everyday word after any short night — Ich habe voll die Augenringe — and farm mornings manufacture them reliably.
German builds face vocabulary with the same directness: Lachfalten (“laugh wrinkles” — crow’s feet), Stirnfalten (forehead lines), Tränensäcke (“tear sacks” — bags under the eyes). The clip is Swiss German, so listen for the local melody around the standard word — and for mega, the Swiss-flavored intensifier glued onto everything here, from the Augenringe to the megafeine farm food.
