die Belohnung, -en
reward
Etwas, das man bekommt, wenn man etwas gut gemacht hat oder sich angestrengt hat.
The German word "Belohnung" is a noun that means "reward". It is derived from the verb "belohnen," which means "to reward" or "to compensate." "Belohnung" refers to a tangible or intangible benefit given in recognition of an action or achievement, often as a form of encouragement or motivation.
Similar words in German include "Prämie" (bonus or premium), "Auszeichnung" (award or designation), and "Entlohnung" (payment or remuneration).
Difference:
- Prämie is often more specific to financial rewards or bonuses, typically given for achieving specific goals or targets, while Belohnung can refer to any kind of reward.
- Auszeichnung is more formal, usually referring to awards given for merit or excellence, such as trophies or medals.
- Entlohnung implies payment for work or services rendered rather than a reward for achievements or good behavior.
