German Language - befremdet registriert


Expert: Kurt Bamert - 2/2/2009

Question
Greetings Kurt,

I understand virtually all of this except for the last two words: "befremdet registriert".
http://www.ard-digital.de/programmvorschau/100128848612/02022009-1410-DasErste/R...

Thomas hat ein Coaching-Seminar besucht und kommt mit Politiker-Habitus zurück, was Maike sehr befremdet registriert.

Please could you explain?

Best wishes,

Simon

Answer
Hello Simon

Here is the Duden entrance of the verb "befremden":

be|frẹm|den ‹sw. V.; hat›: fremd, eigenartig u. zugleich unangenehm berühren, anmuten; bei jmdm. Erstaunen u. Missbilligung auslösen: seine Worte befremdeten mich; ich war von seinem Verhalten zunächst [etwas] befremdet.

He registers it with astonishment and at the same time he disapproves this way of acting and at the same time he feels uneasy and has disagreeable (awkward) feelings.

Greetings,
Kurt
