noun

die Ausrufung, -en

proclamation

Dies ist das offizielle Bekanntgeben oder Erklären von etwas, meist in einem feierlichen oder öffentlichen Rahmen.

The German word "Ausrufung" is a noun meaning "proclamation" or "declaration". It is derived from the verb "ausrufen":

  • "rufen" = to call or to shout
  • "aus" = out

So, "Ausrufung" literally means "calling out" or "proclaiming" something publicly or officially.

Similar words:

  • Erklärung (explanation, declaration)
  • Bekanntgabe (announcement)
  • Verkündung (announcement, proclamation)

Difference:

  • "Ausrufung" typically implies an official or formal public declaration (e.g., declaration of independence).
  • "Erklärung" and "Bekanntgabe" are broader and can apply to explanations or announcements without the formal, public ceremonial tone.
  • "Verkündung" is close in meaning but often legal or judicial proclamations.
