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)
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
I've lived on a farm all my life and never heard the word geld used instead of castrate, but now I understand why a castrated horse is called a gelding. (We never raised horses.)
