“zaftige”

Were you aiming for ZAFTIG there?

Sorry: Let my penchant for Hochdeutsch get away with me there for a minute, hence my declining the noun by adding an "e" at the end (in this case, for the feminine singular), as would be required for High German.

Regards,

Sorry: Should read: adjective (because the subsequent noun - woman - would be feminine sing. in German).
