How to say 'clumsy' in German
How do you say 'clumsy' in German?
The kind of clumsy that you accidentally knock over a glass, or lose balance or hit your arm against something.
When I look it up in my Dutch-German dictionary it says ungeschickt but that sounds very mean like the Dutch word 'ongeschikt' which means 'unsuitable' or 'uncapable' :P is it correct though?

Answer

This looks like a "false friend" between Dutch and German. What you describe as "ongeschikt" would be "unpassend" or "unfähig" in German. On the other hand, "ungeschickt" is a fairly good translation for "clumsy".

Answer

I would say "tollpatschig" fits best. "ungeschickt" is also correct though. It's not really a mean word, I don't think it's the same as the Dutch word you're referring to. Hope that helps :)
