die Einfahrt, -en
driveway
Ein Bereich, in den Fahrzeuge hineinfahren können, zum Beispiel zu einem Hof oder Grundstück.
The German word "Einfahrt" is a noun made up of two parts:
- "ein" meaning "in" or "into"
- "Fahrt" meaning "drive" or "ride"
"Einfahrt" means "entrance" (specifically for vehicles), referring to the driveway, entrance to a garage, or an access point to a road or property.
Similar words:
- "Zufahrt" (access road, driveway)
- "Eingang" (entrance, but more generally for people, not vehicles)
Difference:
- "Einfahrt" is specifically used for vehicle entrances or the act of driving in, while "Eingang" is used for pedestrian entrances. "Zufahrt" refers more to the access route or path leading to a property or place.
