megshoe Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 It's easy to fall into the trap of using the same basic words over and over, so here are some more descriptive and precise replacements words. I'll start off with "gehen" (to go or to walk).Bummeln - to stroll, wanderEilen - to hurry, go very fastFlanieren - to saunter, stroll, ambleFlitzen - to speed, to whizStapfen - to trudge, to plodSchlurfen - to shuffle (with feet), to drag your feelHuschen - to rush, to dart bySchleichen - to crawl, to creepHope these were useful!

Dora M Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 It looks like you have found a really good source of synonyms there. I always marvel at the art of creative writers who understand how to incorporate the best fitting and most descriptive words in any sentence. And how they can turn a banal incident into an exciting adventure. I mean from your average "gehen" to "flitzen", "rasen", "springen", and so on, there is a world of difference. There could be an entire psychological thriller behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
