ge- is a prefix -zond- is cognate with the english sound, as in safe and sound (and I think related to latin sana) and -heit is a suffix, in english often replaced with -ness (closest translation for the word is wellness or actually soundness, but the literal meaning is health)

Hope this helps with remembering. Breaking a word down like this and analysing always helps me anyway :)

Yea and I would totally pronounce it differently, apart from things like ga- instead of ge-. You will put the pause and emphasis in different places, this will be more like ga-zun-tite. While it is gesúnd--heit ("ge-" sort of pronounced like kuh, but a very soft k)

Maybe you should add a caveat saying all the answers are one-word. Just in case and before someone starts a British-American comment war and all that.

Geek got me. In South Africa, we have genets. They also bite the heads of chickens. They have this bizarre feeding habit where they only eat the heads of the birds they catch.

We used it more commonly than "jail" up until the mid 1930's here in the UK, and it is still somewhat used in Ireland and Austrailia, but it mostly survives today in the names of jails rather than in use as a noun
