单词 gucken
释义

gucken

See also: Gucken and gücken

German

Alternative forms

  • kucken (reflecting the common pronunciation, but less frequent in writing)

Etymology

From Middle High German gücken. Further origin uncertain. The pronunciation (and spelling) with k- is commonly explained as an influence of German Low German kieken (from Middle Low German kîken). Note, however, that this pronunciation reaches far to the south (compare Luxembourgish kucken and Dutch kijken).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈkʊkən/ (commonly, northern)
  • IPA(key): /ˈɡʊkən/ (southern)
  • (file)
