/diː ˈaɪ̯nt͡səlhaɪ̯t/
A small specific fact or feature that forms part of a larger situation or description.
| Case | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| Nominativ | die Einzelheit | die Einzelheiten |
| Akkusativ | die Einzelheit | die Einzelheiten |
| Dativ | der Einzelheit | den Einzelheiten |
| Genitiv | der Einzelheit | der Einzelheiten |
A Detail is a single Einzelheit within a larger context; the two words are often interchangeable, but Detail sounds somewhat more factual.
A Einzelheit is a specific piece of information, whereas Information can also refer to comprehensive or abstract content.
Einzelheit and Aspekt can both be parts of a description; however, an Aspekt usually refers to a perspective or a characteristic.
Formation typeDerived word
„Einzelheit“ is synchronically formed from the adjective „einzeln“ and the suffix „-heit“; „-heit“ forms feminine nouns.
