ruler
Eine Person, die in einem Land oder einer Gruppe sehr viel Kontrolle hat und über andere bestimmt.
The German word "Machthaber" is a noun that refers to a person who holds power or is in a position of authority. It is made up of "Macht," which means "power" or "authority," and "haben," which means "to have." Essentially, "Machthaber" translates to "someone who has power" or "power holder."
Similar words in the realm of governance and control include "Herrscher" (ruler), "Regent" (regent), and "Führer" (leader). Each of these conveys a sense of authority or leadership but can have different connotations based on historical and contextual usage. "Machthaber" generally implies possession of control or authority, potentially in a broader or less specified manner than some alternatives which might denote specific roles or titles in governance.
