Über (original) (raw)
Über (German pronunciation: [ˈyːbɐ], sometimes written uber /ˈuːbər/ in English-language publications) is a German language word meaning "over", "above" or "across". It is an etymological twin with German ober, and is a cognate (through Proto-Germanic) with English over, Dutch over, Swedish över and Icelandic yfir, among other Germanic languages; it is a distant cognate to the Sanskrit word ūpari and Hindi ūpar (both meaning 'above', 'over' or 'up'), probably through Proto-Indo-European. The word is relatively well known within Anglophone communities due to its occasional use as a hyphenated prefix in informal English, usually for emphasis. The German word is properly spelled with an umlaut, while the spelling of the English loanword varies.

The German word is properly spelled with an umlaut, while the spelling of the English loanword varies. (en) Über is een Duits woord dat "over" of "boven" betekent. Net als het Nederlandse over is het gerelateerd aan het Latijnse super en het Griekse ύπερ (hyper). Über krijgt, afhankelijk van de zin, de derde of de vierde naamval (resp. datief en accusatief). In Nederland en België heeft het woord een negatieve klank, omdat mensen het associëren met de term übermensch en ander jargon dat de nazi's gebruikten om hun vermeende superioriteit mee te verantwoorden. In internetgemeenschappen die sterk door een Angelsaksische cultuur zijn beïnvloed, zoals die van de vrije software, is de betekenis overwegend positief. Als computerprogrammeurs Richard Stallman een überhacker noemen, bedoelen ze daarmee dat ze hem een van de eersten onder gelijken vinden, iemand die een erepredicaat verdient, hoewel de meeste mensen de twee delen van dat erepredicaat, "über" en "hacker", negatief zullen vinden klinken.
