Hund; Rüde


Explanation:
The English word "dog" has two meanings:
- "Hund", an animal (either sex) belonging to the specie Canis familiaris (domesticated dog). The genus Canis belongs to the family Canidae.
- "Rüde", a male animal belonging to the family Canidae.

neutral  Geneviève von Levetzow: Hund ist der Gattungsbegriff - abgesehen davon scheint mir Desiree eher eine Hündin zu sein;)
1 hr
  -> I think it's very rude to call the asker a "Hündin". ;o)
neutral  Hans G. Liepert: incomplete answer: you forgot *sausage* as in 'hot dogs'
2 hrs
  -> Sorry about that! ;o)
neutral  Will Matter: repetitive. Basic German that we learned in school is "Hund" as above. English cognate is "hound".
4 hrs
  -> What is "repetitive"? Why "basic German"? Why not proper German?
