English ↔ German vocabulary

English German Dictionary

Search German words, English meanings, articles, pronunciation, and examples. When one English word has several German choices, the notes help you pick the word that fits the sentence.

Find the word that fits

Look up a German word or start from English, then compare translations before you use one in a sentence.

Check the grammar around it

See the article, part of speech, and related grammar so the word doesn't stay separate from the sentence.

Study words in useful groups

Move from a single entry into related words, common mistakes, and learner guides that make the vocabulary easier to remember.

Learn the difference

A good translation depends on the situation.

German often makes distinctions that English hides. Application can be Bewerbung for a job or Antrag for an official request. Travel can point to Reise, Urlaub, Fahrt, or Fernweh depending on whether you mean the trip, the time off, the ride, or the feeling.

The strongest entries explain those boundaries with examples, patterns, and common learner mistakes. The larger reference list keeps quick lookup useful, while curated guides go deeper where context matters most.
