die Zugabe, -n
encore
Etwas, das nach dem geplanten Ende einer Aufführung zusätzlich gezeigt oder gespielt wird, weil das Publikum weiter applaudiert.
The German word "Zugabe" is a noun that means "addition" or "encore". It comes from the verb "zugeben," which means "to add" or "to grant." In a musical context, "Zugabe" refers to an encore performance requested by the audience after a concert. In general terms, it can imply an added bonus or extra benefit included in something.
Similar words in German include "Ergänzung" (supplement or addition) and "Extra" (extra).
The difference lies in usage: "Zugabe" is specifically often associated with performances or displays where something extra is added upon request, whereas "Ergänzung" has a broader application for any kind of addition.
