kiosk
Ein kleiner Laden, oft an der Straße oder in Bahnhöfen, in dem man schnell Dinge wie Zeitungen, Getränke oder Süßigkeiten kaufen kann.
The German word "Kiosk" refers to a small shop or booth selling newspapers, snacks, and other items often found in public areas. The term is from Turkish ("köşk"), which means pavilion or small building, ultimately coming from Persian "(kōšk)", also meaning a pavilion or portico.
Words with similar meaning include "Bude" (stall or booth) and "Pavillon" (pavilion, which can refer to a temporary structure). While "Kiosk" specifically suggests a small retail outlet, "Pavillon" could be a larger and less commercial structure, and "Bude" may be more generic and temporary in nature, such as a market stall.
