What is the verb for "vomit" or "puke" in german? How does it conjugate? (asking this cause the mashed potatoes make me feel like im goona hurl if i eat too much)
Edit:Also, what does "doch" mean? I can't seem to find a good anwer anywhere else.

Tag Buggsie smile

According to some cross-research and my dictionaries, the most appropriate terms for "vomit" are "sich übergeben" and "sich ergeben" (don't forget the 'sich', otherwise it is something entirely different!). However, I would advise you to take caution before using words taken directly from a dictionary, as they can often be of an incorrect tone. Double check with a native wherever possible. wink

It may be better to say that "Ich fühle mich krank, wenn ich zu viele Kartoffeln essen". If you need conjugations, do let me know and I will try to help you.

Now, as for doch... "doch" means "yes", but in response to a question/statement where it implies the negative. So, for example...
"Er ist nicht so intelligent..."
"Doch, er spricht drei Sprachen!"

You wouldn't use it for something like....
"Hast du eine Katze?"
"Doch."
Incorrect...!
Ok, thanks. So doch could be like part of a sarcastic response, or to show agreement, and is only used to respond to something that's negative? It's a positve word right?

You may also use it to make something more emphatic, or to use it like "on the contrary," or "after all" if you didn't expect something to happen. It's a fun word. smile

Oh, and I believe that you can use it in commands to make something seem less harsh.

Yup, that's correct, it means 'yes'. And, as XWraith_LordX pointed out, it is also sometimes used in commands (or various other parts of speech) for emphasis. Doch is one of those tricky little words that doesn't quite translate to anything in English, so if you're not sure, you might be better to leave it out. The worst thing would be to mix up 'noch' and 'doch', after all!

Hey, guys. I need someone to chat in german with me on the weekends or something. I switched schools and can no longer take German, so I'm still stuck at a beginner level. smile PM me if you would like to.

Just thought I'd let you know the others left off a few words for vomit.
kotzen (Ich kotze, er kotzt, etc)
erbrechen (conjugated like brechen)
kuebeln
speien
s. uebergeben
... I think I'm forgetting a few. I have no idea how I learned so many words for "to puke" in German...

Thank you for the ielanguages German tutorial link...*Still on first page*
Tutorial + German class in school + Rosetta Stone if my mom can afford it = <3. xD

Honestly, I'd say skip the Rosetta stone if you're taking classes already. Just make sure you push yourself a little at home with the German - there are plenty of ways to do that for free online.

After I read that, I searched "how much does Rosetta Stone cost?" and first two things I saw were $250 and $500. .___.
But I want to become fluent in German, and I sincerely doubt high school German could do that.
What are some examples of free ones? I've never tried searching them, so I haven't the slightest clue. xD
