Flieg

Flieg is the imperative form of the German verb fliegen, meaning to fly. It is used to address a single person and issue a direct command to fly, or more broadly to move quickly or depart.

In Modern German, the imperative forms of fliegen are Flieg! for informal singular, Fliegt! for informal plural, and Fliegen Sie! for formal address. Flieg, like other imperatives, functions as a command or exhortation and is typically found in contexts involving flight, aviation, or urgent instruction. Its usage is conversational and can carry urgency or emphasis depending on tone and situation.

Etymology and related forms: Flieg derives from the verb fliegen, whose roots trace to the Germanic word for “to fly.” The word shares its origin with related German words such as Flug (flight) and fliegen (to fly). As a grammatical form, Flieg is distinct from the noun Flug, which refers to a flight or act of flying.
