خلفية ثقافية
In Germany, the concept of 'Energie' is closely tied to the 'Energiewende' (energy transition), making the word very common in daily news. However, on a personal level, it reflects the German cultural value of 'Einsatzbereitschaft' or being ready to put in effort. It became even more popular with the rise of fitness culture in the 1980s.

What It Means
Energie haben is your go-to phrase for feeling active. It describes that internal spark that gets you moving. You can use it for physical strength or mental focus. It is like saying your internal battery is at 100 percent. If you are ready to hike a mountain, you have energy. If you are ready to finish a report, you have energy.
How To Use It
You use it just like the English version. The verb haben changes based on who you are talking about.
Ich habe Energie(I have energy).Hast du Energie?(Do you have energy?).
It is very flexible and works in almost any sentence structure. You can add words like viel (much) or wenig (little) to be more specific. Just remember to conjugate haben correctly for your subject.
When To Use It
Use this phrase when discussing your mood or physical state. It is perfect for the gym or a morning meeting. If a friend asks if you want to go out, this is your answer. You can use it to describe people or even projects. A project that is moving fast might 'have energy' too. It is a very positive and proactive thing to say.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this for electrical power in your house. For your phone or a wall socket, use the word Strom. If you say your toaster hat Energie, people might think it is alive. Also, avoid it if you mean 'power' in a political sense. For that, Germans usually use the word Macht. Keep Energie haben for people, animals, and lively vibes.
Cultural Background
Germans value being productive and 'tatkräftig' (energetic/active). Having energy is seen as a very desirable trait in Germany. There is a big focus on 'Bio-Energie' and healthy living lately. You will hear this phrase often in yoga classes or health food stores. It is part of the modern German obsession with wellness and efficiency. Even at work, showing you have energy is a big plus.
Common Variations
You will often hear voller Energie sein. This means 'to be full of energy' and sounds a bit more intense. Another common one is keine Energie mehr haben. That is the classic 'I am done for the day' feeling. Some people might use the English word Power instead. They might say Ich habe heute richtig Power. It sounds a bit more modern and casual.
ملاحظات الاستخدام
The phrase is perfectly neutral and safe for all situations. Just ensure you don't use it for electrical devices, as that is a common beginner mistake.
