German: Begeistern (DW)

Today we have another great post from Deutsche Welle covering different uses of 'begeistern':

Was man leicht verwechselt: sich FÜR etw. begeistern/JDN. FÜR etwas begeistern/VON etw. begeistert sein

Wir versuchen mal, die Unterschiede etwas klarer zu machen:


sich FÜR etw. begeistern = ein großes Interesse für etwas haben; Freude an etwas haben (meist, wenn es um Hobbys und allgemeine Interessen geht)
Bsp.
Ich begeistere mich für die Malerei.
Für Autos kann ich mich nicht wirklich begeistern.

jdn. für etw. begeistern = jemandes Interesse an etwas wecken
Bsp.
Mit meinen Erzählungen habe ich sie fürs Skilaufen begeistert.

VON etw. begeistert sein = von etwas entzückt sein; etwas toll finden
Bsp.
Das Publikum war von Justin Timberlakes Performance begeistert.
Ich war ganz begeistert, wie nett er war.

Begeisterung = große Freude; Enthusiasmus
Bsp.
Ich lerne mit Begeisterung Deutsch.
Das Publikum brüllte vor Begeisterung.
Sein Auftritt hat für viel Begeisterung gesorgt.
