der Azubi
der Azubi 30秒で
- Azubi means apprentice or trainee in the German vocational system.
- It is a shortened form of the word 'Auszubildende'.
- Azubis split their time between a company and a vocational school.
- The plural is 'Azubis' and the term is used for almost any trade.
- Etymology
- The term is a portmanteau formed from the first syllables of Auszubildender. It emerged in the 1970s to modernize the image of vocational training.
- Gender Neutrality
- While 'der Azubi' is masculine, the feminine form is 'die Azubi' or sometimes 'die Azubine' (though the latter is becoming dated). In formal writing, 'Auszubildende' is preferred as it is gender-neutral in the plural.
Unser neuer Azubi fängt nächsten Montag in der Werkstatt an.
Hast du den Azubi schon gebeten, die Rechnungen zu sortieren?
- Social Context
- In Germany, roughly 50% of school leavers enter an apprenticeship, making 'Azubi' one of the most common social identities for people aged 16 to 25.
Als Azubi verdient man im ersten Jahr noch nicht sehr viel.
Wir suchen für das kommende Jahr drei neue Azubis für unseren Betrieb.
- Professionalism
- In formal emails, it is often better to use the full word 'Auszubildende', but in daily conversation, 'Azubi' is perfectly acceptable and widely used even by managers.

- Subject Position (Nominative)
- Der Azubi muss heute zur Berufsschule gehen. (The apprentice has to go to vocational school today.)

- In the News

Im Radio hieß es, dass viele Azubis ihre Prüfung nicht bestehen.

- Mistake: Using 'Student'
- Incorrect: 'Er ist ein Student bei Siemens.' (Unless he's at a university program). Correct: 'Er ist ein Azubi bei Siemens.'
- Mistake: Using 'Lehrling' in Formal Settings
- While 'Lehrling' is not 'wrong,' it is old-fashioned. Using it in a modern office might make you sound like you're from the 1950s. Stick to 'Azubi.'
Nennen Sie den Azubi nicht einfach einen Praktikanten; das ist eine Abwertung.
Ein Azubi ist kein billiger Hilfsarbeiter.

- Azubi vs. Lehrling
- 'Azubi' is modern and used in offices/industry. 'Lehrling' is traditional and used in manual trades. 'Azubi' is the politically correct term used by the government.
- Azubi vs. Praktikant
- An Azubi is a long-term trainee with a contract. A Praktikant is a short-term intern often doing it for orientation or as part of a school project.
Der Azubi hat mehr Rechte als ein einfacher Praktikant.
Früher nannte man den Azubi einfach nur Lehrling.

How Formal Is It?
豆知識
The term was officially introduced into the legal language of the Vocational Training Act (BBiG) in 1969, but the abbreviation 'Azubi' became popular in common parlance shortly after.
発音ガイド
- Stressing the first syllable (A-zubi) which sounds like a foreign brand name.
- Pronouncing the 'z' like an English 'z' (soft) instead of a German 'ts' (sharp).
- Making the 'u' too short; it should be a long 'uː' sound.
- Pronouncing the 'i' like 'ai' (as in 'eye'). It should always be a sharp 'ee' sound.
- Swallowing the final 'i' so it sounds like 'Azub'.
難易度
Easy to recognize in texts and job ads. Usually appears in clear contexts.
Simple to write, but remember the 's' plural and the masculine gender.
Pronunciation of the 'z' (ts) and the stress on the second syllable takes practice.
Very distinct sound, easy to pick out in conversations about work.

10 問Essentially, they are the same. 'Lehrling' is the traditional term often used in manual crafts, while 'Azubi' is the modern, more common abbreviation of 'Auszubildender,' used across all sectors including offices and industry.
It varies greatly depending on the profession and the region. On average, it's between 600 and 1,200 Euros per month, increasing each year of the apprenticeship.
Yes, there is no age limit. While most Azubis are teenagers or in their early 20s, many people start a 'Umschulung' (retraining) or a second apprenticeship later in life.
Grammatically, 'der Azubi' is masculine, but it is often used as a generic term. For a female specifically, you can use 'die Azubi' or 'die Auszubildende.' 'Azubine' is also used but is more colloquial.
Most programs last 3 years, though some are 2 or 3.5 years. If you have good grades or a high school diploma (Abitur), you can often shorten the time by 6 months.
No, the vocational school (Berufsschule) is free. In fact, the company pays the Azubi a salary while they are in school.
They can usually repeat the exam twice. The training contract is typically extended until the next possible exam date.
It is an official abbreviation recognized by the Duden dictionary and used in government communications, though 'Auszubildende' is the formal legal term.
It's very difficult. Most programs require at least B1 or B2 level German because the vocational school classes and exams are entirely in German.
It is a discounted public transport pass specifically for apprentices, similar to a student ticket.
