teuer

expensive

Dieses Wort beschreibt etwas, das viel Geld kostet oder einen hohen Preis hat.

The German word "teuer" is an adjective that means "expensive" or "costly". It can be used to describe something that requires a high monetary payment or is considered valuable.

Similar words in German include "kostspielig" (costly) and "hochpreisig" (high-priced).

The main difference between these words is that "teuer" is a more general term for high cost, while "kostspielig" often implies that something is excessively or unnecessarily expensive. "Hochpreisig" emphasizes that the price is notably high but doesn't carry the same connotations of value judgment as "teuer".
