Noun

heulen

  1. Plural form of heul

German

Etymology

From Middle High German hiulen, from Old High German hūwilōn, from Proto-West Germanic *hūwilōn, from Proto-Germanic *hūwilōną, *hiuwilōną (to howl), from Proto-Indo-European *kū-, *kew- (to howl, scream). Compare hūwila (owl). Cognate with Dutch huilen, English howl.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /hɔʏ̯lən/
  • (file)

Verb

heulen (weak, third-person singular present heult, past tense heulte, past participle geheult, auxiliary haben)

  1. to howl, to whine (make a loud, usually high-pitched sound)
  2. (sometimes informal or derogatory) to weep, to cry (see usage notes)
    Synonym: weinen

Usage notes

  • Both in colloquial and literary German, heulen often has a deprecatory tone, implying that the weeping is unjustified and exaggerated. However, in the vernacular it is also commonly used as an entirely neutral synonym of weinen. So one could say in an affectionate and consoling manner: Ach Schatz... jetzt heul doch nicht! Komm her zu mir! (“Oh honey... now don’t cry! Come to me!”). In literary German, heulen is used neutrally only for very intense or desperate weeping, especially referring to small children.
