die Statue, -n

The German word "Statue" is a noun meaning "statue" or "sculpture"—a three-dimensional artistic representation, usually of a person or animal. It comes from the Latin word statua, referring to a standing figure.

Similar words in German:

• Figur (figure) – can refer to smaller or less formal representations.
• Denkmal (monument) – often refers to statues but also broader commemorative structures.
• Skulptur (sculpture) – an artwork carved or molded, often broader than just statues.

Difference:

• "Statue" specifically means a freestanding representation, often life-size or larger.
• "Figur" may be smaller or decorative.
• "Denkmal" is a statue or structure intended as a memorial.
• "Skulptur" can include abstract or non-figurative works, not only statues.
