repair
Etwas, das kaputt oder beschädigt ist, wieder in Ordnung bringen.
The German word "reparieren" is a verb that means "to repair" or "to fix". It comes from the word "Reparatur," which means "repair" or "mending". "Reparieren" specifically involves fixing something that is broken or damaged back to its working condition. Similar words in German include "instand setzen" (to refurbish), "wiederherstellen" (to restore), and "ausbessern" (to mend).
The differences between these words usually lie in the context or the extent of the repair work: "instand setzen" may suggest more comprehensive repairs or a reconditioning, "wiederherstellen" often implies a restoration to the original state, and "ausbessern" might mean more minor or surface-level repairs.
