"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.

[vickikn]

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?

[JeanReno77]

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?

[Pauper_Prince]

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

Duolingo does NOT want you to type what you hear, it wants you to type what it supposes it says
