i am visited enough.

Posted on by

 there’s a phrase in german (regional,) meaning “i am feeling visited enough”

that you can say when you want company to go, and this is brilliant.

it’s “ich fühle mich jetzt genug besucht.”

  11. I’m not a bit fluent in German, so I’m left to wonder if this is any more civil than our phrase Don’t let the door hit you on the butt on the way out, which may leave a bit of an insult with your departing visitors, Beth.

  31. I’m a Swiss German, but have never ever heard that one…. but we do use the English phrase about visits and fish. I confess however that with some ‘enforced’ visits a similar feeling might creep up 😉

  33. I have saved this and found it so fun. I don’t think I ever heard it growing up. I could say it but those I’d be saying it to wouldn’t understand or care. I probably would only say it if family overstayed their welcome. 😉 Thanks for this.

  39. I believe my six year old granddaughter said this in her own language (crying while muttering that “I’m sad because granny and grandpa have to go…why can’t they move in that house across the street.”) Which could mean she’d had enough of us camping out in her play room or she didn’t want us to leave the neighborhood or both. I was on the same page she was after three days. 🙂

  44. (OOPs. Sorry, couldn’t erase it.) Interesting phrase. I studied German for a year on my own before my family went there over 12 years ago. I have a dear sister in law, who is from Germany. Thankfully they never said anything like that. I don’t think I could pronounce that anyway.
