/diː aktiviˈtɛːt/
Something that a person or group does for a particular purpose.

| Akkusativ | die Aktivität | die Aktivitäten |
| Dativ | der Aktivität | den Aktivitäten |
| Genitiv | der Aktivität | der Aktivitäten |
Aktivität often refers to a purpose or framework, whereas Handlung emphasizes the individual conscious act more strongly; the words are therefore not always interchangeable.
Tätigkeit usually emphasizes regular or professional employment, whereas Aktivität also includes one-time or leisure-related pursuits.
A Unternehmung is usually a planned, concrete Aktivität, often involving a project or goal; therefore, not every Aktivität is a Unternehmung.
Formation typeDerived word
„Aktivität“ is derived from the adjective „aktiv“ with the suffix „-ität“.
