die Teilzeit
part-time
Eine Arbeitsform, bei der man weniger Stunden pro Woche arbeitet als jemand mit voller Stelle.
The German word "Teilzeit" is a noun that means "part-time" or "partial time". It is composed of two parts: "Teil" meaning "part" and "Zeit" meaning "time". "Teilzeit" refers to a work arrangement where an employee works fewer hours than a full-time worker, often with reduced responsibilities or benefits.
Similar terms in German include "Vollzeit" (full-time) and "Halbtags" (half-day), which refer specifically to working fewer hours. The difference lies in the context: "Teilzeit" typically indicates flexible hours that do not meet the full-time standard, while "Halbtags" often implies a more regular or fixed structure but still results in fewer hours.
