noun

die Ausfahrt, -en

exit

Stelle, an der man mit einem Fahrzeug ein Gelände, eine Straße oder eine Autobahn verlässt.

The German word "Ausfahrt" is a noun that means "exit" or "drive-out". It is made up of the prefix "Aus" (meaning "out") and the noun "Fahrt" (meaning "drive" or "ride"). "Ausfahrt" is commonly used in contexts relating to roads, highways, or paths where one can leave or exit, such as a highway exit.

Similar words in German include "Auslass" (outlet), "Abfahrt" (departure), and "Abzweigung" (branching point).

Differences:

  • "Abfahrt" generally refers to departure rather than exit and is often associated with the beginning of a journey.
  • "Abzweigung" refers to a point where a road branches off in a different direction, while "Ausfahrt" specifically indicates leaving a thoroughfare.
