What is redhead in German?

The most common way to say "redhead" in German is "Rothaariger" (pronounced "roh-t-hah-ree-ger").

Here's a breakdown:

* "Roth" means "red"

* "Haar" means "hair"

* "iger" is a suffix that makes it an adjective meaning "having red hair"

You can also use the more informal "Rothaarige" for a woman.

Here are some other options, depending on the context:

* "Rotschopf" (literally "red top") - often used as a nickname for someone with red hair

* "Feuerkopf" (literally "fire head") - a more poetic and less common term

* "Kupferroter" (literally "copper-red") - describes someone with coppery red hair

Remember that "Rothaariger" is the most common and generally accepted term.
