Meaning of German "heuer"
Question by Albatross66 | 2018-03-09 at 19:03
What does the German word "heuer" actually mean? I have been asking myself this question for a long time, especially after the last vacation, where we had to deal with some people who were constantly using the word "heuer".
At first, I always thought that they meant "heute" = "today", because "today" also fits into the context. Is "heuer" perhaps a synonym for the German word "heute"?
It would be great if someone could explain the meaning. So far, I have not dared to ask one of these speakers, as they take the word for granted, as if it were a normal word.

The word "heuer" means "this year", "in the current year" or even "today / in the present time / in the present".
That's why the word fits well in a context of "today", because today means "this day".
The word "heuer" is mainly used in southern Germany, but also in Austria and Switzerland. You are probably not coming from this area, which is why you mainly met only on holiday people using this word. In Bavaria, for example, where I come from, the word is just as common in everyday language usage as the word "heute/today".
