Semantic relations
How this meaning relates to other meanings and easily confused words.
- Broader termGegenstand — object
Artikel here refers to an Gegenstand intended for offering or sale; Gegenstand is broader in scope and does not presuppose a commercial context.
- Broader termProdukt — product
Artikel can refer to a product for sale; Produkt, by contrast, emphasizes manufacturing and is therefore not interchangeable with every Artikel in this sense.
- Near-synonymWare — goods
Artikel often means a single item for sale, whereas Ware can also refer to merchandise or a quantity of products intended for sale.
