व्याख्या Zusage in your Level:
At the A1 level, the word Zusage might seem a bit advanced, but you will encounter it in the context of simple invitations. Imagine you are learning how to invite someone to a party. You might say, 'Kommst du zu meiner Party?' (Are you coming to my party?). If the person says 'Yes', that is a Zusage. At this stage, just remember that Zusage means 'saying yes' and Absage means 'saying no'. You will mostly see it in short texts or emails. For example, 'Vielen Dank für die Zusage' (Thank you for the acceptance). You don't need to use it in complex sentences yet. Just focus on the idea that it is a positive answer to a question like 'Can you come?' or 'Do you want this?'. It is a feminine noun, so we say die Zusage. If you get an email saying 'Zusage für den Deutschkurs', be happy! It means you are in the class. Think of it as the 'Green Light' word. Even at A1, knowing this word helps you understand basic administrative emails from schools or clubs. It's a very practical word for daily life in Germany, even if you only use it in simple phrases like 'Ich warte auf eine Zusage'.

At the A2 level, you start to use Zusage in more structured ways, especially when dealing with appointments and social planning. You should be able to understand that Zusage is the noun form of the verb zusagen. When you write a short message to a friend, you might say: 'Ich freue mich über deine Zusage!' (I am happy about your acceptance!). You will also see this word when you apply for small jobs or internships. An employer might send you a 'Zusage per E-Mail'. At A2, you should also learn the opposite word, Absage, because they often appear together. For example, 'Haben wir mehr Zusagen oder Absagen für das Picknick?' (Do we have more acceptances or rejections for the picnic?). You are also learning to use prepositions, so remember Zusage für. 'Ich habe eine Zusage für die Wohnung' (I have an acceptance for the apartment). This is a very common situation in Germany. Understanding this word helps you navigate social expectations—if you give a Zusage, people expect you to show up. It is more than just a 'maybe'. It is a clear 'yes'. You might also hear it in the context of school: 'Hast du schon eine Zusage von der Schule?' (Do you already have an acceptance from the school?).

At the B1 level, Zusage becomes a key vocabulary item for professional and official communication. This is the level where you are expected to handle job applications and more formal social events. You will learn to use phrases like eine Zusage erhalten (to receive an acceptance) and eine Zusage geben (to give an acceptance). In a B1 exam, you might have to write a letter responding to a job offer, and using the word Zusage correctly will show that you have a good grasp of formal German. You should also understand the nuance that a Zusage is a commitment. If you tell a company 'Ich gebe Ihnen meine Zusage', you are saying you will take the job. This level also introduces compound nouns like Einstellungszusage (hiring commitment) or Kreditzusage (loan approval). You will notice that Zusage is often used with adjectives like schriftlich (written) or mündlich (verbal). 'Ich habe erst eine mündliche Zusage, ich warte noch auf die schriftliche.' (I only have a verbal acceptance; I am still waiting for the written one). This distinction is very important in German culture and law. You are also expected to use the word in the plural: 'Wir haben viele Zusagen für unsere Hochzeit bekommen.' (We received many acceptances for our wedding).
At the B2 level, you explore the legal and formal implications of Zusage. You will encounter the word in business contracts and official government correspondence. Here, a Zusage is not just a 'yes', but a verbindliche Erklärung (binding declaration). You will learn terms like Förderzusage (grant approval) and Leistungszusage (benefit commitment). At this level, you should be able to discuss the consequences of breaking a Zusage. 'Was passiert, wenn die Firma ihre Zusage zurückzieht?' (What happens if the company withdraws its commitment?). You will also see Zusage used in more abstract ways, such as in politics: 'Die Zusage der Regierung, die Infrastruktur zu verbessern, wurde begrüßt.' (The government's promise to improve infrastructure was welcomed). You should be comfortable using the word in complex sentences with various tenses and moods. For example, 'Hätte ich die Zusage früher erhalten, hätte ich meine Reise anders geplant.' (If I had received the acceptance earlier, I would have planned my trip differently). You also start to distinguish Zusage from synonyms like Zustimmung, Einwilligung, and Zusicherung. A Zusicherung is even stronger and more formal than a Zusage, often used in diplomatic or high-level legal contexts.

At the C1 level, you use Zusage with precision in sophisticated contexts. You understand the subtle differences between a Zusage and an Annahme in contract law. You can analyze texts where Zusage is used metaphorically or in complex socio-political discussions. For instance, you might discuss the 'Zusagecharakter' (the nature of a commitment) of a political speech. You are familiar with idiomatic or highly formal expressions like unter dem Vorbehalt der Zusage (subject to approval) or die Zusage erteilen (to grant approval). Your vocabulary includes specific types of commitments like Pensionszusage (pension commitment) or Kapitalzusage (capital commitment). You can also use the word to describe psychological states, such as the social pressure that comes after a Zusage. In academic or professional writing, you use Zusage to describe the results of studies or the status of funding. 'Die Zusage von Drittmitteln ist für die Forschung essentiell.' (The approval of third-party funds is essential for research). You are also aware of how Zusage functions in the 'Zusage-Verfahren' (acceptance process) for restricted university courses (Numerus Clausus). At this level, the word is a tool for navigating the highest levels of German society and administration with nuance and accuracy.

At the C2 level, you have a masterly command of Zusage and can use it in any context, from legal philosophy to high-level diplomacy. You understand the historical development of the word from the Middle High German 'zusagen' and its evolution into a legal term. You can discuss the 'Rechtsverbindlichkeit einer Zusage' (legal bindingness of a promise) in the context of the German Civil Code (BGB) with the same fluency as a native speaker. You are able to interpret literature where a Zusage might be a central plot point or a symbol of honor and betrayal. You can use the word in highly specialized fields, such as insurance law (Deckungszusage) or international relations (Sicherheitszusage). Your ability to use Zusage includes the mastery of its most formal verb pairings, such as eine Zusage widerrufen, eine Zusage befristen (to put a time limit on a commitment), or eine Zusage an Bedingungen knüpfen (to link a commitment to conditions). You can write complex reports or legal briefs where the distinction between a Zusage and a vorvertragliche Information (pre-contractual information) is crucial. At this level, the word is no longer just a vocabulary item but a concept that you can manipulate and discuss in all its dimensions.

Zusage 30 सेकंड में

  • Zusage means acceptance or commitment.
  • It is the opposite of Absage (rejection).
  • It is a feminine noun: die Zusage.
  • Commonly used for jobs, apartments, and parties.
The German noun Zusage is a cornerstone of German social and professional interaction, representing a formal or informal acceptance, a promise, or a commitment to a specific request or offer. Derived from the verb zusagen (to accept/to promise), it carries a weight of reliability that is deeply embedded in German culture. Whether you are applying for a job, inviting friends to a dinner party, or negotiating a business contract, the moment of the Zusage marks the transition from uncertainty to a defined agreement. In a professional context, receiving a Zusage for a job position is the goal of every applicant, signifying that the employer has officially chosen you.
Professional Context
In the corporate world, a Zusage can be verbal or written. A written Einstellungszusage (hiring commitment) is a formal document that precedes the actual employment contract, providing the candidate with security before the final paperwork is signed.
Socially, if you invite someone to a wedding, you expect a Zusage or an Absage (rejection/cancellation) by a certain date. The term implies a positive response; you are 'saying yes' to something.

Nach dem langen Vorstellungsgespräch erhielt ich endlich die telefonische Zusage für die Stelle.

The word is also used in the context of funding or grants. A university might give a Studienplatzzusage, or a bank might give a Kreditzusage. In every instance, it acts as a green light.
Linguistic Nuance
While Versprechen is a general promise, Zusage is specifically an affirmative response to an existing offer or invitation. You don't just 'make' a Zusage out of thin air; it is usually the second half of a communication cycle.
Culturally, Germans value a verbindliche Zusage (binding commitment). If you give your Zusage to help a friend move, they will count on you 100%. Flaking after a Zusage without a very good reason is seen as quite rude.

Wir haben bereits zwanzig Zusagen für unsere Geburtstagsparty erhalten.

Furthermore, in the realm of psychology and social dynamics, the 'Zusage-Effekt' (commitment effect) refers to how people are more likely to follow through once they have explicitly said 'yes'. Understanding this word is essential for navigating daily life in Germany, as it appears in almost every administrative or social scheduling process.
Administrative Use
Public authorities use Zusage in formal letters to confirm that a benefit or a permit has been granted, often using the phrase 'Hiermit erhalten Sie die Zusage für...'

Die schriftliche Zusage der Bank ist für den Hauskauf zwingend erforderlich.

Ohne eine feste Zusage können wir die Planung nicht abschließen.

Using Zusage correctly requires understanding its common verb pairings and prepositional usage. The most frequent verb combined with Zusage is erhalten (to receive). When you receive an acceptance, you say: 'Ich habe eine Zusage erhalten.' Alternatively, if you are the one giving the acceptance, you use geben (to give) or erteilen (to grant/issue - more formal). For example, 'Die Firma hat mir eine Zusage gegeben.'
Common Prepositions
You usually receive a Zusage für (for) something or zu (to) an event. 'Die Zusage für den Job' or 'Die Zusage zur Party'.
Another important aspect is the type of commitment. A verbindliche Zusage is a binding commitment, while a unverbindliche Zusage is non-binding (though this is rarer as the word itself implies some level of intent). If someone asks for your confirmation, they might say: 'Ich bitte um eine baldige Zusage.'

Können Sie mir bis Freitag eine Zusage geben?

In more formal settings, like grant applications or government permits, you might encounter the phrase unter Vorbehalt der Zusage, meaning 'subject to approval'. When discussing multiple confirmations, use the plural Zusagen. 'Wir haben bereits zehn Zusagen für das Seminar.' If a Zusage is later withdrawn, the verb is zurückziehen or widerrufen. 'Leider musste der Kunde seine Zusage zurückziehen.'

Trotz der mündlichen Zusage kam der Vertrag nie zustande.

In business emails, it is common to start with: 'Vielen Dank für Ihre Zusage.' (Thank you for your acceptance/confirmation). This sets a positive tone for the rest of the correspondence.
Sentence Structure
Because Zusage is a noun, it often functions as the direct object of the sentence. 'Er erwartet eine Zusage.' (Subject-Verb-Object).

Die Zusage der Fördergelder war entscheidend für das Projekt.

Ich warte noch auf eine Zusage von meiner Versicherung.

Compound Nouns
German loves compounds: Terminzusage (confirmation of an appointment), Kreditzusage (loan approval), Einstellungszusage (hiring commitment).
You will encounter Zusage in a variety of high-stakes and everyday situations. In the educational system, students wait anxiously for a Studienplatz-Zusage from universities, especially for competitive subjects like medicine or law. In this context, the word represents the key to their future career. In the workplace, HR managers use the word daily. When a company decides to hire someone, they 'erteilen eine Zusage'. Conversely, if you are a freelancer or a contractor, receiving a Zusage for a project means you have secured work and income.
Social Events
Invitations to weddings, gala dinners, or large parties often include a request for a Zusage by a specific date (u.A.w.g. - um Antwort wird gebeten). Here, it is the polite way to say 'I am coming'.
On the news, you might hear about political Zusagen. For instance, 'Die Regierung gab die Zusage, die Steuern nicht zu erhöhen.' (The government promised not to raise taxes). In this macro-context, Zusage functions as a formal pledge or assurance to the public.

Der Minister hielt sich nicht an seine ursprüngliche Zusage.

In the world of entertainment, a talent agent might say, 'Wir haben die Zusage vom Hauptdarsteller.' (We have the commitment from the lead actor). This implies that the actor has agreed to the role and the project can proceed.
Financial World
Banks issue Kreditzusagen. This is a formal document stating they will provide a loan under certain conditions. It is much stronger than a mere 'maybe'.

Ohne eine schriftliche Zusage können wir den Mietvertrag nicht unterschreiben.

Die Zusage erfolgte prompt nach dem Telefonat.

Plural usage
Event planners often talk about 'Zusagen und Absagen' (acceptances and declines) as the two metrics of event success.

Die Zahl der Zusagen überstieg unsere Erwartungen bei weitem.

One of the most frequent mistakes English speakers make with Zusage is confusing it with Zustimmung. While both can be translated as 'agreement', they are used in different contexts. Zustimmung is when you agree with an idea, an opinion, or a proposal (e.g., 'Ich stimme dir zu'). Zusage is specifically the act of saying 'yes' to an offer or an invitation. You receive a Zusage for a job, but you give Zustimmung to a new policy.
Zusage vs. Versprechen
Another pitfall is using Versprechen (promise) when Zusage is more appropriate. A Versprechen is a personal vow to do something. A Zusage is a formal confirmation of a request. If a boss says 'You have the job', that is a Zusage. If a friend says 'I promise to help you', that is a Versprechen.
Gender errors are also common. Remember, it is die Zusage. Using 'der' or 'das' is a tell-tale sign of a learner. Learners also struggle with the verb zusagen. While 'Zusage' is the noun, the verb 'zusagen' can mean 'to accept' or 'to appeal to someone'. For example, 'Das Essen sagt mir zu' means 'The food appeals to me/I like the food'. This second meaning can be very confusing!

Falsch: Ich habe eine Zusage für deine Meinung. (Correct: Ich stimme deiner Meinung zu.)

Richtig: Ich habe eine Zusage für die Wohnung bekommen.

Preposition Pitfalls
Using an instead of für or zu. It's 'Zusage für den Job', not 'Zusage an den Job'.

Verwechseln Sie Zusage nicht mit Aussage (statement/testimony).

Eine Zusage ist immer positiv; eine Absage ist negativ.

While Zusage is the most versatile word for 'acceptance', several alternatives exist depending on the register and context.
Annahme
Annahme is often used in legal or technical contexts, such as 'Annahme eines Angebots' (acceptance of an offer). It sounds more formal and detached than Zusage.
Einwilligung
Einwilligung means 'consent' or 'permission'. It is used when someone agrees to let something happen, like 'Einwilligung in eine Operation' (consent to surgery). It implies giving authority rather than just confirming attendance.
Bestätigung
Bestätigung (confirmation) is a very close synonym. While a Zusage is the act of saying yes, a Bestätigung is the proof that the yes was said. 'Ich brauche eine Bestätigung Ihrer Zusage' (I need a confirmation of your acceptance).

Die Zusage ist persönlicher als eine bloße Bestätigung.

Versprechen
As mentioned before, Versprechen is a promise. It is more about the speaker's intent and honor, whereas Zusage is about the logistical outcome of a request.
Jawort
Specifically for weddings, the 'yes' at the altar is called the Jawort. You wouldn't call it a Zusage in that poetic moment, though the reply to the wedding invitation was indeed a Zusage.

In der Diplomatie spricht man oft von Zusicherungen (assurances) statt nur von Zusagen.

Eine Zusage ist das Gegenteil einer Absage.

How Formal Is It?

रोचक तथ्य

In the Middle Ages, a 'Zusage' was often a formal oath of loyalty or a promise of military support. Breaking such a Zusage could lead to a 'Fehde' (feud).

    The correct preposition for a job or position is 'für'.

  • Der Zusage war gestern. → Die Zusage war gestern.

    'Zusage' is feminine, so it must be 'die'.

  • Ich mache eine Zusage. → Ich gebe eine Zusage. / Ich sage zu.

    In German, you 'give' an acceptance rather than 'making' one.

  • Ich habe eine Zusage für deine Meinung. → Ich stimme deiner Meinung zu.

Gender Check

Always remember 'die Zusage'. Feminine nouns ending in -e are very common in German.

Binding Nature

Only give a 'Zusage' if you really mean it. Germans value reliability highly.

Opposites

Learn 'Zusage' and 'Absage' together. They are a pair in almost every planning context.

Job Applications

When you get a job, you receive an 'Einstellungszusage'. Use this word in your thank-you email.

Invitations

If an invitation says 'u.A.w.g.', you must give either a 'Zusage' or an 'Absage'.

Written Proof

Always ask for a 'schriftliche Zusage' in important matters like jobs or apartments.

Compound Nouns

Look out for words ending in -zusage. They tell you exactly what is being accepted (e.g., Kreditzusage).

Verb form

The verb is 'zusagen'. It is separable: 'Ich sage dir morgen zu.'

The 'Z' Sound

Practice the 'ts' sound. It's like the end of 'cats' but at the start of the word.

Bestätigung

In many cases, 'Bestätigung' can be used, but 'Zusage' sounds more like a personal commitment.

याद करें

स्मृति सहायक

Think of 'Zu' as 'To' and 'Sage' as 'Say'. You 'Say To' (Zusage) someone that you are coming. It's the 'To-Say' of acceptance.

दृश्य संबंध

Imagine a large green checkmark (✓) on a formal letter. That checkmark is the 'Zusage'.

Word Web

Job Party Ja Acceptance Absage (opposite) Brief E-Mail Versprechen

चैलेंज

Try to write a short email accepting a fictional wedding invitation using the word 'Zusage' and 'freuen'.

शब्द की उत्पत्ति

Derived from the Middle High German 'zuosagen', which combined the prefix 'zu-' (to/towards) with 'sagen' (to say).

मूल अर्थ: Literally 'to say to' or 'to speak towards', eventually evolving into 'to say yes to'.

Germanic

सांस्कृतिक संदर्भ

Be careful not to give a 'Zusage' too lightly in Germany; it is seen as a binding social contract.

In English, we often use 'confirmation' or 'acceptance'. 'Zusage' is more specific to the act of saying yes to an offer.

The 'Zusage' of a 'Studienplatz' is a common theme in German coming-of-age films. Political 'Zusagen' are frequently debated in German talk shows like 'Anne Will'.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल

10 सवाल

In Germany, a 'Zusage' can be legally binding, especially in business. A 'mündliche Zusage' (verbal commitment) is technically a contract, but it is very hard to prove in court without witnesses. A 'schriftliche Zusage' is much safer.

'Zustimmung' means you agree with an idea or opinion ('I agree with you'). 'Zusage' means you accept an invitation or an offer ('I will come' or 'I accept the job').

Yes, for the invitation. You give a 'Zusage' to the couple. However, the 'yes' during the ceremony is called the 'Jawort'.

You say: 'Ich habe die Zusage erhalten' (formal) or 'Ich habe die Zusage bekommen' (neutral).

It is the official document from a university confirming that you have a spot in a specific degree program.

The plural is 'Zusagen'.

No, a 'Zusage' is always positive. A negative response is an 'Absage'.

It means 'subject to approval' or 'provided that a commitment is given'.

Not specifically as a slang word, but young people might say 'Ich hab die Zusage am Start' to mean they've got it secured.

Use 'für' for a job or an object ('Zusage für den Job') and 'zu' for an event ('Zusage zur Party').
