minus-squareAshy@lemmy.wtflinkfedilinkarrow-up9·edit-211 months agoDo you mean “ungefähr” (it means approximately)? The Umlaut is not optional. Otherwise it looks like “umgefahren”. But “Ungefahrt” is not a German word.
minus-squarehakunawazo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·11 months agoUmfahren is a nice German word. It could mean to drive around somebody or to knock somebody over. Total opposite meaning.

minus-squareAshy@lemmy.wtflinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-211 months ago does it have a -t at the end ever? I don’t think so. You can have “ungefährlich” (harmless) … or “Gefährt” (a vehicle). But nothing with “un” prefix and a “t” suffix I can think off.
