pusten

== German == === Etymology === The modern form is from German Low German pusten, from Middle Low German pûsten, borrowed during the 18th century and spread in this Low German form after that. Ultimately of imitative origin (lautmalend), though it is unclear if the word goes back to a Proto-Indo-European root. Earlier attestations (from the 14th century on) are pausten, pfausten, rarely also pusten. These prove the word to be inherited in High German. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈpuːstən/, [ˈpuːstən], [ˈpuːstn̩] Hyphenation: pus‧ten === Verb === pusten (weak, third-person singular present pustet, past tense pustete, past participle gepustet, auxiliary haben) (chiefly Germany) to blow (usually with one’s mouth) Synonym: blasen ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== Pustekuchen === References === === Further reading === “pusten”, in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache‎[2] (in German) “pusten” in Uni Leipzig: Wortschatz-Lexikon “pusten” in Duden online “pusten” in OpenThesaurus.de == Norwegian Bokmål == === Noun === pusten m definite singular of pust == Norwegian Nynorsk == === Alternative forms === pustet n === Noun === pusten m or n definite masculine singular of pust == Swedish == === Noun === pusten definite singular of pust
