genießen meaning and definition in german

Frequency:






class 2 strong, third-person singular simple present genießt, past tense genoss, past participle genossen, past subjunctive genösse, auxiliary haben

Genießen is significantly less frequent than English enjoy. The German verb usually means “to enjoy something consciously”, while the more general sense of “to take pleasure in” is expressed with other constructions. For example: She enjoys dancing. → “Sie tanzt gern.” Or: “Sie hat Spaß am Tanzen.”
