Etymology 1
From Middle English tunne, tonne (“cask, barrel”), from Old English tunne (“tun, cask, barrel”), from Proto-Germanic *tunn?, *tunn? (“tun, barrel, cask”), from Latin tunna, probably of Gaulish origin.
Cognate with North Frisian tenn (“tun, barrel, cask”), Dutch ton (“tun, barrel, cask”), German Tonne (“tun, barrel, drum”), Danish tønde (“barrel”), Swedish tunna (“barrel, cask, tun”), Icelandic tunna (“barrel”). Compare also Old French tonne, French tonneau (“ton, barrel”), Medieval Latin tunna (“cask”), Middle Irish tunna (“cask”), Welsh tynell (“tun, barrel”).

German
Alternative forms
- (obsolete) thun
Etymology
From Middle High German tuon, from Old High German tuon, from Proto-West Germanic *d?n, from Proto-Germanic *d?n?, derived from Proto-Indo-European *d?eh?- (“to put, set, place”). Cognate with English do.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /tu?n/, [tu?n]
Verb
tun (irregular, third-person singular present tut, past tense tat, past participle getan, past subjunctive täte, auxiliary haben)
- to do (to perform or execute an action)
- Synonym: machen
- (with dative) to do something (positive or negative) to someone
- Synonym: antun
- (reflexive, with an indefinite pronoun) to make a difference; to be different
- Synonym: unterscheiden
- (somewhat informal, with “so” or “als ob”) to fake; to feign; to pretend
- Synonyms: vortäuschen, täuschen, vorgeben
- (chiefly colloquial) to put, to place, to add
- Synonyms: setzen, legen, stellen, platzieren, hinzufügen
- 2017, Simone Meier, Fleisch, Kein & Aber, p. 27:
- (chiefly colloquial, with “es”) to work, to function
- Synonym: funktionieren
- (chiefly colloquial, but acceptable in writing) Used with the preceding infinitive of another verb to emphasise this verb
- (colloquial, nonstandard) Used with the following infinitive of another verb, often to emphasise the statement
- (colloquial, nonstandard) Used in the past subjunctive with the infinitive of another verb to form the conditional tense (instead of standard würde)
Usage notes
- The verb tun in the sense of “to perform” is not used in combination with nouns. This function is covered by the verb machen: ich mache Sport, wir machen ein Spiel, er macht die Wäsche (“I do sport, we do a game, he does the laundry”). The same is true with pronouns that represent such nouns: Wer macht die Wäsche? – Ich mache sie. (“Who does the laundry? – I do it.”) It is usually ungrammatical to use tun in sentences like these.
- Tun is only used with pronouns that represent actions as a whole: Was tust du? (“What are you doing?”) Ich tue viel für die Umwelt. (“I do a lot for the environment.”) Er tut alles, was sie sagt. (“He does everything she says.”)
- (colloquial, nonstandard): The use of do-support is a feature of several dialects and minority languages in Germany. In the standard language, it is most established along the Rhine. It is somewhat more acceptable when used for emphasis (as in the example with zuhören above), but is otherwise often regarded as illiterate (as in the example with aufräumen). This latter usage is generally associated with lower socio-economic status.

- The 1st person singular present indicative may also be (ich) tu.
