part-time

Es beschreibt eine Arbeit, die nur für den halben Tag oder die Hälfte der normalen Arbeitszeit gemacht wird.

Definition & meaning

Halbtags means for half of a day or, especially in a work context, part-time for roughly half the usual daily hours. The exact hours do not have to make up half of the full 24-hour day.

Grammar & Word origin

Halbtags is usually an adverb. It is formed from halb (“half”) and tags , a time expression related to Tag (“day”).

Synonyms & antonyms

  • teilzeit (“part-time”) is a close synonym in employment contexts, but it can refer to any reduced working schedule, not just one roughly half the length of a full-time day.
  • stundenweise (“by the hour” or “for certain hours”) emphasizes work arranged in hourly periods rather than a half-day schedule.
  • ganztags (“for the whole day” or “full-time”) is the usual antonym.
