das Eigenheim, -e
home
The German word "Eigenheim" is a noun that means "homeowner's house" or "own home". It is comprised of two parts: "Eigen", which means "own" or "self", and "Heim", which means "home" or "house". The term generally refers to a residential property that is owned rather than rented.
Similar words in German include "Haus" (house) and "Wohnung" (apartment). The distinction is that "Eigenheim" specifically emphasizes ownership, whereas "Haus" and "Wohnung" do not inherently indicate whether a property is owned or rented.
