"Der Bereich"

Translation: The area

[MarcosVall3]

Area... Like Bereich 51?

[Germaron]

Thanks! I was looking for a way to remember this word. Bereich 51. Sounds cool.

why do they give us new words in this format rather than the translate format where you can see what they mean and how they are spelled instead of guessing??

[DJJG7]

Yes! I first had this question as a spoken-only question also. Guessing is fun! Unless it is a little frustrating. But I find that I (and all my students) learn better through guessing, just as toddlers learn. Duolingo does not do this too often, but once in a while, it can be fun. And I sure won't forget how "Der Bereich" is spelled after writing this reply and musing about your question. Thank you!

[HerrArbo]

What format?

[WarmSummerBees]

The "Type What You Hear" format, I think.

[oppikoppi]

Is range/reach/scope also used for this word in German? z.B. Signalbereich?

[DeeChinedu]

Does "die Gegend" not mean "the area" too?

[LiamRowe]

Yeah, that's far more common

[DeeChinedu]

I thought as much. Danke!

[LadyInTheTrees]

does "branch" also work?

[VittorioRanieri]

no, because bereich also mean region, area, land and in this case it means area.

[dooooooduo]

Does this include the mathematical 'area'?

[margusoja]

I think it should, because we have no context whatsoever and therefore all of the possible meanings of the word "der Bereich" should be accepted.

[Drumknott]

Helps to remember which category you're practicing: in this case, places.

[kmramna]

Your comment helped me to remember this word. Danke!

[NengahParm]

What is difference between ort, platz and bereit?

[DJJG7]

"Der Ort" = the place.

"Der Platz" = the plaza or a town square.

"Der Bereich" = the area.

[Ibranzzal]

How can i pronounce the (ch) i find it very diffcult ,danke shön

[RussellCarpenter]

I was told to pronounce it like the H in "hot" by my German buddy.

[AjithKrishnan]

What is the difference between Raum and Bereich?

[tu.8zPhLD72zzoZN]

Sometimes Raum can be used to mean Bereich, but often it means something else.

[jlaughbaum]

I think it comes from farming and rechoning or thinking where youd plant. Berechen to calculate. Bereichen - the right field

[Izuchukwu1]

Whatever happened to Fläche?

[bright_flash]

It seems like the word Bereich can be neuter as well? Is it correct?

[Prince945]

Is there any context how to use "Ort", "platz", "Bereich", "Raum" ?
P.S. Thanks for your patience.
