der Empfang, ¨-e
reception
Es bedeutet, etwas anzunehmen oder zu begrüßen, zum Beispiel Gäste, Signale oder eine Nachricht.
The German word "Empfang" is a noun that means "reception" or "receiving". It derives from the verb "empfangen", which means "to receive" or "to accommodate". In different contexts, "Empfang" might refer to the act of welcoming guests, the reception of a signal (like in telecommunications), or a physical reception area (like in a hotel). Similar German words include "Aufnahme" (which can also mean "admission" or "recording") and "Rezeption" (principally used for "hotel reception"). Unlike "Aufnahme", which often has a broader usage referring to taking in anything, including abstract concepts, "Empfang" is generally associated with receiving guests or signals.
