| Nov 2, 2020 at 15:49 | comment | added | OregonGhost | Note that "abgeschalten", or the base form "geschalten", "eingeschalten" and so on, seems to be commonly used in Austria, at least in some parts of the country. That's where I heard it - an Austrian company is one of our customers in building automation and they say it a lot. Another word they taught me which I never heard of before is Stiegenhausschaltung (the standard German term is Treppenhausschaltung), i.e. a light that is switched on when pressing the button and stays on for some time before switching off again. Then it's ausgeschalten. | |

| Oct 29, 2020 at 11:28 | comment | added | AnoE | I have used "abgelitten" in the mathematical term when I was studying (decades ago), and always as a little pun. Most native-speaking people either didn't notice at all, or if they did, they seemed to get it. | |
| Oct 28, 2020 at 9:29 | comment | added | Bergi | @Hagen I use it all the time. It only feels wrong when thinking longer about it. | |
| Oct 28, 2020 at 7:26 | comment | added | Hagen von Eitzen | "abgeschalten"? Really? Never heard that ... | |
| Oct 28, 2020 at 6:21 | comment | added | Mico | I would like to challenge the claim contained in "at times people say (jokingly) genossen (enjoyed) instead of geniest (sneezed)", viz., that "genossen" is just a joke. What's the basis for this challenge? Several Swiss-German dialects -- and especially Walliser-Deutsch (which is mostly pure Mittelhochdeutsch with a few Althochdeutsch components thrown in for good measure) -- definitely use "ernosse'" and "g'nosse'" as the past participle of "niesen". Thus, "genossen" in Neuhochdeutsch may actually be a proper hold-over from older locutions rather than just a joke. | |

| Oct 27, 2020 at 12:42 | comment | added | Wrzlprmft♦ | Welcome to German Language SE and thank you for your answer. I edited it quite a bit because I found it difficult to extract what you were aiming at and some sentences were very convoluted. Please check whether everything is still according to your intentions. | |
