swimming trunks
A pair of shorts for men and boys worn for swimming and bathing.
Vergiss nicht, deine Badehose einzupacken, wenn wir ins Schwimmbad gehen.
Don't forget to pack your swimming trunks when we go to the swimming pool.
The word is made up of 'Bade-' (from the verb 'baden' (to bathe/swim)) and 'Hose' (trousers/pants). So it is literally a pair of trousers for bathing or swimming.
Für den Strandurlaub brauche ich noch eine neue Badehose.
I still need a new pair of swimming trunks for the beach vacation.
'Badehose' (swimming trunks) is often used with verbs like 'anziehen' (to put on), 'tragen' (to wear), 'einpacken' (to pack), or 'vergessen' (to forget).
Zieh dir schnell die Badehose an, wir wollen los!
Quickly put on your swimming trunks; we want to leave!
The word is used almost exclusively in the context of water and swimming, for example at the swimming pool, at a lake, or by the sea.
