die Qualifikation, -en
qualification
Eine Fähigkeit oder ein Nachweis, der zeigt, dass jemand für eine bestimmte Aufgabe oder Arbeit geeignet ist.
The German word "Qualifikation" is a noun that means "qualification" or "credential". It is derived from the root "qualifizieren," which means "to qualify." "Qualifikation" typically refers to the skills, education, and experience required to perform a specific role or job. Similar words in German include "Eignung" (suitability), "Fähigkeit" (ability), and "Zulassung" (admission).
The difference between "Qualifikation" and these similar words is that "Qualifikation" specifically emphasizes formal credentials or certifications, often related to professional qualifications, while "Eignung" and "Fähigkeit" can refer to more general suitability or abilities without a formal context. "Zulassung" typically relates to being granted permission or access, such as entry to an institution or program, rather than merely possessing qualifications.
