noun

das Repertoire, -s

repertoire

The German word "Repertoire" is a noun borrowed from French, retaining the same spelling and meaning in both languages. The word refers to the range or list of skills, activities, pieces, or works that a person or organization is prepared to perform or display. It is often used in relation to music, theater, or another area where performance is involved.

Similar words in German include "Bestand" (inventory), "Sammlung" (collection), and "Programm" (program).

Differences:

  • "Bestand" typically refers to an inventory or stock of items and is more commonly used in business or logistics contexts.
  • "Sammlung" means a collection of items, not necessarily ones that can be performed, and is often used in contexts such as art or literature.
  • "Programm" can refer to a planned series of performances or events, but it is more general and not limited to what an individual or group can perform repeatedly.

"Repertoire" specifically refers to the variety of works or pieces an individual or group can regularly present or perform competently.
