austauschen - umtauschen - auswechseln?
posted 1 year ago
All three verbs can generally be translated to “to change”. Their meaning is quite similar. However, there’s a slight difference. Take a look:
1. etwas austauschen = (to) exchange sth./ (to) substitute
Example: Ich tausche meine Erfahrungen mit dir aus. I exchange my experiences with you.
2. etwas umtauschen = (to) convert / (to) exchange
Example: Ich tausche meine Münzen in Geldscheine um. I convert my coins into paper money.
Also: Geld umtauschen = (to) exchange money (e.g. at a bank)
and: Waren umtauschen = (to) exchange (unwanted) goods
3. etwas auswechseln = (to) replace sth.
Example: Ich wechsle die kaputte Glühbirne aus. I replace the broken light bulb.
