The German word "Arbeiter" is a noun meaning "worker". It pertains specifically to someone who performs physical or manual labor, typically in an industrial or factory setting. The base form, “arbeiten”, is a verb meaning “to work”.
Similar terms include "Angestellter" (employee) and "Arbeitnehmer" (employee or worker).
The term "Angestellter" often refers to someone employed in an office or non-manual job, implying a different type of work environment and responsibilities than what is implied by "Arbeiter".
