Busens

Busen is a German noun meaning bosom, chest, or breast, with the sense primarily referring to the upper front of the torso and, in particular, the breasts. It is used in everyday language, in poetry, and in affectionate or intimate contexts. In medical or anatomical writing, the term Brust is more common, while Busen carries more emotional or poetic nuance.

As a masculine noun, Busen follows standard German declension. The singular is der Busen; the plural die Busen. The genitive singular is des Busens. In the dative and accusative, forms align with other masculine nouns: dem Busen, den Busen.

In usage, Busen often conveys warmth, tenderness, or maternal imagery, and can appear in expressions about care or comfort, such as a child resting in a mother's bosom. In modern German, the term is generally non-technical and may feel informal or poetic; for everyday anatomical reference, Brust is preferred.

Translations into English include bosom, breast, or chest, depending on context. The term also appears in historical or religious literature where the expression evokes closeness or protection, reflecting the broader semantic range of the word.
