kocha (past participle kocht) (West Central Bavarian)

1. (transitive or intransitive, of a person) to cook, to prepare food (chiefly hot food for lunch or supper)

   Er kånn ned kocha. ― He can't cook.

   Heid koch ma Knedln z'Mittåg . ― Today we're cooking dumplings for dinner.

2. (intransitive, of food) to cook, to boil

   De Knedln kocha scho. ― The dumplings are already cooking.

3. to boil
   1. (transitive) (to heat a liquid until it boils)
   2. (intransitive, of a liquid) (to reach the boiling point)

• Intransitive kocha can be used for all sorts of food preparation that require at least some amount of work and effort. However, there is a strong tendency to use the verb only for the preparation of a proper dinner, be it lunch or supper. Hence, the preparation of, say, schnitzel for dinner is kocha, even though the food is fried. Contrarily, the preparation of breakfast is only rarely called kocha even if eggs are boiled in the process.
• Transitive kocha can generally be used only for actual boiling. Hence, a Steak kocha (“to cook a steak”) would be understood solely as dropping a steak into a pot of boiling water.
