das Abitur, -e
érettségi
Ein Abschluss am Ende der Schulzeit, der zeigt, dass jemand bereit für die Universität ist.
The German word "Abitur" is a noun referring to the final exams and qualification obtained after completing secondary education, allowing entrance to university.
- It is a standalone term and not directly composed of smaller words.
Similar words include:
- "Matura" (used in Austria, Switzerland)
- "Oberstufenabschluss" (upper secondary school leaving certificate)
Difference:
"Abitur" is specific to the German education system (especially in Germany) and represents the highest secondary school qualification granting university access; "Matura" is the equivalent term used in other German-speaking countries. "Oberstufenabschluss" is more general and may not always grant university entrance.
