Eine Bitte oder Frage, mit der man Informationen oder Hilfe von jemandem möchte.
The German word "Anfrage" is a noun meaning "inquiry" or "request".
- It consists of "An-" (a prefix meaning "at" or "to") and "Fr age", derived from the verb "fragen" meaning "to ask".
- So, "Anfrage" literally translates to "a asking towards", i.e., a formal request for information.
Similar words:
- "Bitte" (request, plea)
- "Nachfrage" (demand, follow-up question)
- "Erkundigung" (enquiry, finding out information)
Difference:
- "Anfrage" usually refers to a formal or official request for information.
- "Bitte" is more general and polite, can be informal.
- "Nachfrage" relates more to demand or additional questioning.
- "Erkundigung" is focused on gathering information rather than formally requesting something.
