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
"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.

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.
Two of Santa's reindeer have German names: Dasher and Dancer, which in German folklore are known as "Dasher" (Rascal) and "Dancer" (Tänzer). However, the names of the reindeer as popularly known today primarily derive from the poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" by Clement Clarke Moore, which was published in 1823. The association of these names with German culture is more about their folkloric roots than direct translation.
In Latin, the word for reindeer is "Rangifer." This term refers to the genus that includes both reindeer and caribou. The scientific name for the reindeer is "Rangifer tarandus."
