die Terrasse, -n
terrace
Ein Platz im Freien an einem Haus oder einer Wohnung, oft mit Boden aus Stein oder Holz, auf dem man sitzen oder essen kann.
The German word "Terrasse" is a noun that means "terrace", referring to an outdoor space that is typically paved and often attached to a building, where people can relax, dine, or enjoy the outdoors. The word "Terrasse" originated from French, where it also means the same.
Similar words in German include "Balkon" (balcony), which refers to a smaller raised platform projecting from a building, and "Patio" (patio), typically used for an outdoor space but may vary in context.
The key difference lies in their structure and location: a "Terrasse" is typically a larger, ground-level outdoor space, often more integrated with the garden or yard, while a "Balkon" is an elevated platform attached to a building. A "Patio" often denotes a sleek, paved area that can also be part of a garden or backyard outdoor living space, sometimes not attached to a building.
