schwitzen
sweat
Es bedeutet, dass Flüssigkeit aus der Haut kommt, meist weil es heiß ist oder man sich anstrengt.
The German word "schwitzen" is a verb that means "to sweat". It is derived from the noun "Schweiß" which means "sweat". "Schwitzen" describes the physiological process where the body produces sweat, usually to regulate temperature or as a response to physical exertion, heat, or stress.
Similar words in German include "transpirieren" (to perspire, a more formal term) and "schwitzig" (sweaty, referring to something that is damp with sweat). While all these terms relate to sweating, "schwitzen" is the most commonly used term in everyday language. "Transpirieren" may be less common and more technical or formal, while "schwitzig" refers to the condition of being sweaty rather than the act itself.
