vögeln

== German == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈføːɡl̩n/, /ˈføːɡəln/ Hyphenation: vö‧geln === Etymology 1 === From Middle High German vogelen, vogeln, from Old High German fogalōn (“catch birds”). Related to Vogel (“bird”), from Proto-Germanic *fuglaz (“bird”), from Proto-Indo-European *pleu (“to flow, to float”). Cognate with English fowl. ==== Alternative forms ==== vogeln ==== Verb ==== vögeln (weak, third-person singular present vögelt, past tense vögelte, past participle gevögelt, auxiliary haben) (dated) to catch birds (compare "angeln") (dated) to be itinerant, to flit from place to place ===== Conjugation ===== === Etymology 2 === Probably ultimately from the Germanic root *fug-, like ficken ("fuck"). Compare the Limburgish verbs vogelen, fokkelen, both used of birds with the meaning "to mate". Specific application to birds probably results from similarity to the word Vogel. ==== Alternative forms ==== v*geln (censored) ==== Verb ==== vögeln (weak, third-person singular present vögelt, past tense vögelte, past participle gevögelt, auxiliary haben) (of birds) to mate (vulgar) to have sexual intercourse 1904, Anthropophyteia, Jahrbücher für Folkloristische Erhebungen und Forschungen zur Entwicklunggeschichte der geschlechtlichen Moral, published by Friedrich S.
