noun
die Anklage, -n
vád
Ein offizieller Vorwurf, dass eine Person eine Straftat begangen hat, der vor Gericht geprüft wird.
The German word "Anklage" is a noun meaning "accusation" or "charge" (especially in a legal context).
- It is made up of "An-" (prefix, often implies direction or intensification) and "Klage", which means "complaint", "lawsuit", or "claim".
Similar words:
- Beschuldigung (accusation, blame)
- Vorwurf (reproach, allegation)
- Klagedrohung (threat of legal action)
Differences:
- Anklage is more formal and legalistic, specifically referring to an official charge in court.
- Beschuldigung and Vorwurf are broader and can be used in everyday speech for accusing someone, not necessarily in a legal context.
