The German word "Nachfrage" is a noun that means "demand".
- It is composed of the words:
- "nach" — meaning "after", "toward", or "for",
- "Frage" — meaning "question".
In economic and general context, "Nachfrage" refers to the consumer demand for goods or services.
Similar words:
- Anfrage — inquiry, request (more like asking for information)
- Bedarf — need, requirement
- Verlangen — desire, demand (more subjective or personal demand)
Difference:
- Unlike "Anfrage", which is a request for information, "Nachfrage" is about market or consumer demand.
- "Bedarf" refers to an actual need or requirement, whereas "Nachfrage" describes the demand experienced in the market, which may differ from real needs.
- "Verlangen" expresses a personal or emotional desire, while "Nachfrage" is often used in objective economic contexts.
