nounpreposition

der Samt, -e

velvet

The German word "samt" is a preposition that means "together with" or "along with." It is often used to indicate the inclusion of something or someone in addition to a primary subject or item.

It can also be part of the expression "samt und sonders," which means "all together." Similar words or phrases include "nebst" (besides) and "einschließlich" (including).

The distinction between "samt" and similar words lies in its emphasis on inclusivity, while "nebst" is often used to refer to things or people that are simply alongside another, and "einschließlich" is more formal, specifically used to denote inclusion systematically.
