What kind of videos do people use the word antworten?
To clear up the confusion – Antworten is usually featured in the captions of videos that are replying to a question or query somebody has replied to one of their TikToks.
Here are a few examples.
In the video above, a user has asked for some pose ideas for non-photogenic people. The creator then used the word ‘antworten’ in their caption to answer and reply their question.
In this video, the question is displayed clearly, asking the creator for a tutorial on how they made their Bat Paperplane. The creator replies with a tutorial, again using antworten in their caption to show that they are answering their question.
TikTok star Noemi Nikita (@noeminikita) uses this word regularly in the captions of her TikToks. In this example one of her fans asked her to try purple for her makeup trend, she responded by carrying out their wish, and using antworten in her caption.
New slang?
Antworten is basically the new cool way to answer a question viewers have about one of your videos!
