unterrichten
teach
Jemandem Wissen oder Fähigkeiten beibringen, damit er oder sie etwas Neues lernen kann.
The German word "unterrichten" is a verb that means "to teach" or "to instruct". It is derived from the prefix "unter" and the verb "richten," which broadly relates to guiding or directing. In the context of education, "unterrichten" typically refers to the act of imparting knowledge or skills to students.
Similar words in German include "lehren" (to teach), "ausbilden" (to train or educate), and "schulen" (to school or train).
The key difference lies in nuance: while "unterrichten" specifically refers to the formal act of teaching, "lehren" can have a broader meaning and may be used in more informal contexts, whereas "ausbilden" and "schulen" emphasize the training aspect.
