Is there a German word for "disappointment"?

indigo353 · 2007-01-01 13:10:48

Could a native German speaker tell me if there is a word for "disappointment" in the German language....I've heard that there isn't and it's important for some research I am doing. Any help would be really appreciated Happy New Year

Don't know who told you this, i would say (s)he wanted to make a joke or hasn't the slightest idea what (s)he was talking about.
The word you are searching for is "(die) Enttäuschung".

And a link for a good online dictionary:
