raus
out · outside
Es bedeutet, dass man von drinnen nach draußen geht oder etwas nach draußen bringt.
The German word "raus" is an informal or colloquial contraction of "heraus" or "hinaus", which both mean "out" or "out of". "Raus" is commonly used to indicate movement from the inside to the outside, similar to "out" in English.
Similar words in German include "heraus" (coming out from inside towards the speaker) and "hinaus" (going out from inside away from the speaker).
Differences:
- "Raus" is informal and more commonly used in everyday spoken language.
- "Heraus" is used to indicate movement towards the speaker or a specific location.
- "Hinaus" is used to indicate movement away from the speaker or current location.
Using "raus" makes speech more casual and less formal than using "heraus" or "hinaus".
