senior
The German word for 'senior' is also 'Senior'. It is used in the same context as in English, to refer to someone who is older or has more experience, such as a senior citizen or a senior employee.
Example sentences using: Senior
Mein Onkel ist ein Senior.
My uncle is a senior citizen.
In this context, the German word 'Senior' refers to an older person, similar to the English term 'senior citizen'. The sentence structure is simple, and the use of familial relationship (Onkel) provides relatability.
Das ist ein Ratschlag für Senioren.
This is advice for seniors.
Again, 'Senior' is used to refer to an older person. The primary focus of the sentence is the offering of advice (Ratschlag) directed at this group of individuals. The preposition 'für' translates directly to 'for' in English.
Sie arbeitet in einem Seniorenheim.
She works in a senior home.
In this example, 'Seniorenheim' refers to a living place for the elderly, also known as a senior home or retirement home. The important point here is the compound noun 'Seniorenheim', which combines 'Senior' with 'Heim' (home).
