10,000 most common German words

Ranked by how often each word turns up in everyday German, with its meaning in English.

German capitalises every noun, so the nouns are easy to pick out of this list. Watch for the separable verbs too — the prefix often travels to the end of the sentence, which is why parts like an, auf and aus rank so high on their own.

Frequencies come from the OpenSubtitles corpus via hermitdave/FrequencyWords; English meanings and IPA pronunciations from Wiktextract, with eSpeak NG filling in pronunciations Wiktionary lacks. The data is CC BY-SA 4.0, and so is this list — keep the credit if you pass it on. Example sentences come from Tatoeba, CC BY 2.0 FR. The raw data file is here too.

The speaker plays the voice the LangX app uses for that language — synthesised, not a native speaker, so treat it as a guide.
