'Die Hure' (whore) is a vulgar, insulting word and can be hurtful even when it does not refer to someone's profession. In factual conversations, it should therefore be used only with great caution.
In einem sachlichen Text ersetzt man das Wort „Hure“ besser durch „Prostituierte“.
In a factual text, it is better to replace the word 'Hure' (whore) with 'Prostituierte' (prostitute).
The literal meaning can usually be recognized from a context involving prostitution, payment, a police interview, or a historical or literary plot.
Im Roman nennen die Dorfbewohner die Frau aus dem Bordell verächtlich eine Hure.
In the novel, the villagers contemptuously call the woman from the brothel a whore.
In its insulting meaning, 'Hure' (whore) often follows verbs such as 'beschimpfen' (to insult), 'beleidigen' (to offend), or 'nennen' (to call). The expression is then directed at a woman without necessarily meaning that her profession is known.
Er nannte sie vor allen Gästen eine Hure.
He called her a whore in front of all the guests.
