das Schaufenster, –
display window · shop window
Ein großes Glasfenster an der Vorderseite eines Geschäfts, durch das man Waren sehen kann.
The German word "Schaufenster" is a noun that means "shop window" or "display window." It is a compound word composed of "Schau" (which means "show" or "view") and "Fenster" (which means "window").
"Schaufenster" refers specifically to the window display of a store, where products are showcased to attract customers. Similar words in German include "Vitrine" (showcase) and "Auslage" (display).
The main difference is that "Vitrine" typically refers to a glass cabinet used for displaying items, while "Auslage" can refer to a broader display concept, which might not necessarily be limited to a window. "Schaufenster," however, specifically designates a window used to showcase products outside a retail establishment.
