das Renntier (singular)
die Renntiere (plural)
der Blitz-noun, blitzen-verb (Yes, like the reindeer. Donner is thunder.)
To say body in German it is Körper
In order to say "My eyes" in German you say meine Augen
"Blitzen" is the German word for Lightening. So if you blitz something, you do so at 'lightening' speed.During WWII, the German army carried out what was called a "blitzkrieg", which were 'lightening' attacks on their enemies.[Also, a great many 'traditions' concerning 'Christmas' (such as Christmas trees) were brought back to England by Queen Vitoria's husband (I believe his name was Albert).]I say this to say, that two of "Santa's" "reindeer" were "Donner and Blitzen"which are German for "Thunder and Lightening".Foreign languages are fascinating.

Yes i am afraid to say that the reindeer is endangered.
Australians, should they choose (for some reason) to refer to reindeer, call them reindeer.
There are eight reindeer. If you count Rudolph, then there are nine. The eight reindeer are: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen (which means thunder and lightning in German). Note: some say Donder instead of Donner.Two of Santa's reindeer were originally named "Dunder" and "Blixem," not "Donner' and 'Blitzen."
Lots of reindeer!!!!!!!!!!! *Reindeer is both the singular and plural, e.g. one cow, many cows; one child, many children; one reindeer, many reindeer.
lightning... Donner means thunder...
In the poem "The Night Before Christmas," one of the reindeer is named "Donder" (the Dutch word for "thunder"). However, a lot of people say "Donner" (which is the German word for "thunder").
Since 'Rudolf' is a name, the spelling is actually the same, but 'Reindeer' is Renntier.
