die Stirn, -en
forehead
Der obere Teil des Gesichts über den Augen.
The German word "Stirn" is a noun that means "forehead." It refers specifically to the part of the face situated above the eyebrows and below the hairline. Similar words in German include "Gesicht" (face) and "Brow" (brow).
Difference: While "Stirn" refers only to the forehead area, "Gesicht" encompasses the entire face, including features such as eyes, nose, and mouth. "Brow" is closely related but can also refer to the general area above the eyes and does not precisely address the forehead specifically.
