معنی

To wash dirty plates, cups, and cutlery.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In many German households, there is a specific order: wash glasses first, then cutlery, then plates, and finally pots. This keeps the water cleaner for longer. In Austria, you might hear 'den Aufwasch machen' instead of 'Abwasch'. The meaning is identical, but the prefix 'auf-' is preferred in some regions. Swiss German speakers often use 'abwäsche' or 'gschirre'. The phrase 'den Abwasch machen' is understood but might sound a bit like 'High German' from Germany. The 'Abwasch' is the most common reason for 'WG-Stress'. Many flats have a 'Spülplan' (washing plan) on the fridge to avoid arguments.

⚠️

Gender matters

Always remember 'Abwasch' is masculine. Using 'die' or 'das' is a very common beginner mistake.

Yes! 'Abwaschen' is the verb form and is just as common as 'den Abwasch machen'.

No, it includes everything: cutlery, glasses, pots, and pans.

Because it's the direct object of the verb 'machen', which requires the accusative case.

Many do, especially for items that shouldn't go in the dishwasher, or in small apartments without space for a machine.
