Excuse my lack of German, can someone give me the translation or confirm the following, it's for a sign on a shop door:
Enter <== is there a single word translation for this?
Exit <== is 'Ausgang' correct?
thank you in advance,
Dekka

Enter in which context?
Enter as an english Sign? Wouldn't that rather be "Entrance" as the opposite to "Exit"? Enter would be Eintreten but Entrance -> Eingang would fit better to Exit -> Ausgang. |

entrance = Eingang
exit = Ausgang (German noons are written with a capital letter!) In German we don't use the expression "enter here" on doors, we use the German word for entrance = Eingang. leo.org or dict.cc are good translators, but as the entrance / enter example shows it's usefull to ask native speakers as you did ![]() Best Ice |

Danke für die Wiederholung der vorherigen Beiträge...
Erstaunlich, wie eine solch simple Frage Leute veranlasst, sich in den Vordergrund zu drängen, obwohl das Thema schon durch ist. |
