ausquetschen

The German verb "ausquetschen" means "to squeeze out" or "to extract by squeezing."

• It is composed of "aus" (out) and "quetschen" (to squeeze).
• "Quetschen" itself means to press or crush something, typically to get liquid or juice out.

Similar words:

• herauspressen (to press out)
• auspressen (to squeeze out)
• pressen (to press)

Differences:

• "Ausquetschen" often implies a more thorough or forceful squeezing, sometimes even to the point of overdoing it, and can also be used figuratively (e.g., squeezing information out of someone).
• "Auspressen" or "herauspressen" tend to be more formal or neutral for extracting liquid or juice.
• "Quetschen" alone can refer simply to squeezing without indicating complete extraction.
