stop

The German word „stop“ is borrowed directly from English and is used as an interjection or noun meaning "halt" or "stop."
However, the typical German equivalents are:

• halten (verb) – to stop
• Stillstand (noun) – standstill, halt
• Stopp (noun/interjection) – stop (also borrowed)

Differences:

• stop (English borrowing) is used colloquially especially in speech and signs.
• halten is a more general verb meaning to stop or hold.
• Stopp is commonly used for traffic signs or emphatic stops.
