furnishings · equipment
Dinge oder Geräte, die man braucht, um einen Raum, eine Person oder eine Aufgabe gut vorzubereiten oder nutzbar zu machen.
The German word "Ausstattung" is a noun that means "equipment," "furnishing," or "fitting." It comes from the verb "ausstatten," which means "to equip" or "to furnish." "Ausstattung" can refer to the range of items or features that are included with something, such as a building's furnishings or the features of a vehicle. Similar words in German include "Einrichtung" (establishment/furnishing), "Ausrüstung" (gear/kit), and "Installationen" (installations).
The main difference lies in their specific contexts: "Einrichtung" often refers to the layout or furnishings of a space, "Ausrüstung" is more about gear or equipment used in activities (sports, outdoor, etc.), while "Ausstattung" encompasses a broader range of fitting or supplied features, including the level of quality or luxury.
