意味
To transmit information when someone is unavailable.
文化的背景
When leaving a message on an office phone, it is considered professional to state your full name, company, and phone number twice—once at the beginning and once at the end. In Switzerland, you might hear the word 'Telefonbeantworter' more often than 'Anrufbeantworter' for the machine itself, but the phrase 'Nachricht hinterlassen' remains the standard. With the rise of WhatsApp, Germans often say 'Ich schick dir eine Sprachnachricht' (I'll send you a voice message) instead of 'hinterlassen' if they are doing it actively.
The 'No-Ge' Rule
Always remember that 'hinterlassen' is inseparable. If you say 'hintergelassen', Germans will understand you, but it's a very obvious beginner mistake.
Be Specific
In Germany, don't just say 'Call me back'. Say 'Call me back regarding the meeting at 2 PM'. It's more helpful.

4 問Technically yes, but it sounds a bit formal. Usually, you would say 'Ich habe dir eine Nachricht geschickt' (I sent you a message).
Yes, it is always '{die|f} Nachricht'.
'Nachricht' is a personal message or news. 'Meldung' is a formal report or notification (like a system error).
No, you must use the full verb 'hinterlassen'. 'Lassen' alone means 'to let' or 'to allow'.
