The German word "Nichtraucher" is a noun meaning "non-smoker".
- It is made up of two parts:
- "Nich(t)" = "not"
- "Raucher" = "smoker" (from "rauchen" = "to smoke")
Similar words:
- "Raucher" (smoker)
- "Nicht-Raucher" (alternative spelling with a hyphen)
Difference:
- "Nichtraucher" specifically denotes a person who does not smoke, as opposed to "Raucher" who does.
- The inclusion of "Nicht-" or "Nich-" negates the word "Raucher". Neither "Raucher" nor "Nichtraucher" implies any other habit—it's simply smoker vs. non-smoker.
