die Anstellung, -en
job
Eine feste Arbeit, bei der man regelmäßig Aufgaben für eine Firma erledigt und dafür bezahlt wird.
The German word "Anstellung" is a noun that means "employment" or "appointment". It is derived from the verb "anstellen," which means "to employ" or "to hire". "Anstellung" typically refers to a position or job someone holds.
Similar words in German include "Beschäftigung" (occupation/employment), "Arbeitsplatz" (job/workplace), and "Stelle" (position/post).
Here are the fine differences among them:
- "Beschäftigung" refers broadly to any form of occupation or activity.
- "Arbeitsplatz" emphasizes the location or space where one works.
- "Stelle" is very close in meaning but can be more specific to a particular role or job within an organization.
"Anstellung," on the other hand, often carries a formal or contractual connotation of having been hired for a job.
