Matti got home from preschool yesterday with a story to tell. "Amy," he said, "a kid was saying mean things in preschool today and then the other kid walked away beleidigt." Well, I couldn't place this German word so I asked Christian if he knew what it meant. We couldn't figure it out, it wasn't sad or mad or any other feeling similar to these. Then Matti very sweetly explained, "Amy, it is when some one says something gegen (against) the other person and then the kid walks away like this (and he showed me a sad/frustrated/hurt face)."
We finally looked it up. beleidigt = offended
A good explanation, if I do say so myself.
