Usage tips
Word family
The word „gelaunt“ contains the stem „laun“, which also appears in „Laune“ (mood). This connection helps you associate the word with the topic of moods.
EXAMPLE
Trotz des Regens waren alle Gäste gut gelaunt.
Despite the rain, all the guests were in a good mood.
Negation
In „nicht gut gelaunt“ (not in a good mood), „nicht“ comes before the entire phrase „gut gelaunt“. This is how you negate the positive mood; „gelaunt“ is not negated on its own.
EXAMPLE
Nach der langen Wartezeit war ich nicht besonders gut gelaunt.
After the long wait, I wasn't in a particularly good mood.
Typical collocations
Common phrases include „gut gelaunt aufwachen“ (to wake up in a good mood), „gut gelaunt in den Tag starten“ (to start the day in a good mood), and „gut gelaunt nach Hause kommen“ (to come home in a good mood). These describe a person's mood while carrying out an action.
EXAMPLE
