설명 biologisch in your Level:

At the A1 level, you only need to know 'biologisch' in the context of food and shopping. You will mostly see the short form 'Bio'. When you go to a German supermarket like Rewe or Edeka, you will see 'Bio-Eier' (organic eggs) or 'Bio-Milch' (organic milk). It simply means 'organic' or 'healthy/natural'. At this stage, don't worry too much about the long word; just remember that 'Bio' is good for the environment and often more expensive. You might hear someone say 'Ich esse nur Bio,' which means 'I only eat organic food.' It's a very common word in daily life in Germany, especially in big cities where people care about healthy eating.

At the A2 level, you should start using the full adjective 'biologisch' and understand its basic grammar. You need to know that it changes its ending based on the noun: 'der biologische Apfel', 'die biologische Milch', 'das biologische Brot'. You will also encounter it in the phrase 'kontrolliert biologischer Anbau' (kbA), which you see on many food labels. You might also learn about 'biologischer Abfall' (organic waste) and the 'Bio-Tonne' (the brown trash bin). At this level, you can use the word to describe your shopping habits or to talk about simple nature topics in class.

At the B1 level, you should be able to use 'biologisch' in more abstract contexts. This includes talking about the environment, such as 'biologische Vielfalt' (biodiversity) or 'biologisch abbaubar' (biodegradable). You will also use it to describe family relationships, like 'biologische Eltern' (biological parents) versus 'Adoptiveltern'. You should be comfortable using it as an adverb (e.g., 'biologisch angebaut') and as an adjective with various case endings. You might also see it in news articles about climate change or health, where the 'biologische Uhr' (biological clock) or 'biologischer Rhythmus' are discussed.

At the B2 level, 'biologisch' becomes a tool for more technical and argumentative discussions. You might use it in an essay about 'biologische Landwirtschaft' (organic farming) versus industrial farming. You will understand its usage in scientific contexts, such as 'biologische Prozesse' or 'biologische Reaktionen'. You should also be able to distinguish it clearly from 'organisch' and 'ökologisch', using each word in its correct domain. You'll encounter it in more complex idiomatic or semi-technical expressions like 'biologische Kriegsführung' (biological warfare) or 'biologisches Gleichgewicht' (biological balance/equilibrium).

At the C1 level, your use of 'biologisch' should be precise and nuanced. You will encounter it in academic texts across various disciplines, from sociology (e.g., 'biologischer Determinismus') to advanced environmental science. You should be able to discuss the philosophical implications of 'biologische Herkunft' or the ethics of 'biologische Manipulation'. Your vocabulary will include specialized compounds like 'biologisch-dynamisch' (referring to specific farming methods like Demeter). You should also be able to recognize the word in high-level literature where it might be used metaphorically to describe the 'biologische Notwendigkeit' (biological necessity) of certain human behaviors.

무료 가입하고 전체 설명 읽기

At the C2 level, 'biologisch' is a word you use with complete mastery in any register. You can participate in deep scientific debates about 'biologische Evolution' or 'mikrobiologische Strukturen' with ease. You understand the historical development of the word and its role in the German 'Grüne Bewegung' (Green Movement). You can use the word in complex legal or medical contexts, such as discussing 'biologische Patente' or 'biologische Marker' in medicine. Your understanding includes the most subtle connotations, and you can switch between the scientific, commercial, and metaphorical meanings of the word without hesitation, even in high-pressure professional environments.

biologisch 30초 만에

Biologisch means biological or organic. It is used for science and food shopping.
In Germany, 'Bio' is the common short form for organic products in supermarkets.
It requires adjective endings (e.g., biologischer, biologische) when placed before a noun.
It is different from 'organisch', which is usually used for chemistry or body organs.

The German adjective biologisch is a versatile and essential term in modern German, primarily operating in two distinct but related spheres: the scientific realm of biology and the consumer realm of organic products. At its core, it describes anything pertaining to living organisms or the science of life. However, for a learner of German, the most frequent encounter with this word will likely be in the context of food, agriculture, and lifestyle. In Germany, the 'Bio' movement is culturally significant, and biologisch is the formal adjective used to describe products that meet strict organic standards. Understanding this word requires recognizing that while English speakers often say 'organic' for food, Germans use biologisch or the shortened prefix Bio-.

Scientific Context: Relating to the natural processes of living things, such as the biological clock (die biologische Uhr) or biological parents (biologische Eltern).

Wir untersuchen die biologische Struktur der Zellen.

Translation: We are examining the biological structure of the cells.

Agricultural Context: Referring to farming methods that avoid synthetic chemicals and focus on sustainability. This is synonymous with 'organic' in English.

Dieser Wein wurde biologisch angebaut.

Translation: This wine was grown organically.

The word also carries a connotation of 'natural' or 'untainted.' When someone speaks of a biologische Lösung (biological solution), they might be referring to using natural predators to control pests instead of chemical pesticides. It is a word rooted in the respect for natural cycles. In social contexts, biologische Eltern (biological parents) is used to distinguish genetic parents from adoptive or foster parents. It is important to note that biologisch is never used to mean 'logical' in the sense of 'making sense'; that would be logisch. The prefix bio- comes from the Greek 'bios' meaning life, and this root remains the guiding principle for all its German applications.

Environmental Context: Used to describe biodegradability. 'Biologisch abbaubar' is a key phrase for eco-friendly packaging.

Die Tüte ist vollständig biologisch abbaubar.

Translation: The bag is completely biodegradable.

Sie kauft nur biologische Reinigungsmittel.

Translation: She only buys organic/biological cleaning products.

Das ist ein biologisches Gesetz.

Translation: That is a biological law.

Using biologisch correctly in German involves understanding adjective endings and its role as an adverb. As an adjective, it must decline based on the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies. For example, in 'der biologische Apfel' (the organic apple), it takes the '-e' ending for a masculine nominative noun with a definite article. In 'biologisches Gemüse' (organic vegetables/singular collective), it takes '-es' for a neuter nominative with no article. This grammatical flexibility allows it to fit into any sentence structure, whether you are describing a scientific concept or a grocery item.

Attributive Use (Before a Noun): The ending changes: 'ein biologischer Garten' (masc), 'eine biologische Farm' (fem), 'ein biologisches Ei' (neut).

Haben Sie biologische Tomaten?

Translation: Do you have organic tomatoes? (Plural accusative)

Predicative Use (After a Verb): When it follows verbs like 'sein' (to be) or 'bleiben' (to remain), it does not take an ending: 'Das Obst ist biologisch.'

Dieses Produkt ist zu 100 Prozent biologisch.

Translation: This product is 100 percent biological/organic.

In academic writing, biologisch is often paired with abstract nouns to form complex terms. You will see 'biologische Vielfalt' (biodiversity) or 'biologische Kriegsführung' (biological warfare). In these cases, the word maintains its formal scientific tone. However, in everyday conversation, if you find the full word too long, you can often substitute it with the prefix 'Bio-'. For example, instead of saying 'Ich kaufe biologisches Fleisch,' many Germans simply say 'Ich kaufe Bio-Fleisch.' Both are correct, but the latter is more common in casual speech. It is also worth noting that 'biologisch' can be used figuratively in some contexts, such as 'der biologische Rhythmus' (biological rhythm), referring to the natural flow of human energy and sleep patterns.

Adverbial Use: Modifying a verb or another adjective: 'biologisch dynamisch' (biodynamic).

Der Abfall wird biologisch verwertet.

Translation: The waste is processed biologically.

Ist das wirklich biologisch?

Translation: Is that really organic?

Wir brauchen eine biologische Schädlingsbekämpfung.

Translation: We need biological pest control.

If you walk into any German city, you will hear and see the word biologisch (or its short form 'Bio') almost immediately. Germany has one of the largest markets for organic products in the world. You'll hear it at the 'Wochenmarkt' (weekly market) where vendors shout about their 'biologischer Anbau' (organic cultivation). You'll hear it in political debates regarding the 'Agrarwende' (agricultural transition), where politicians discuss the necessity of 'biologische Landwirtschaft' to protect the environment. It is a word that bridges the gap between the laboratory and the kitchen table.

In the Supermarket: Labels like 'aus kontrolliert biologischem Anbau' (from controlled organic cultivation) are ubiquitous on packaging.

Achten Sie auf das biologische Siegel.

Translation: Look for the organic seal.

In School and University: Students discuss 'biologische Prozesse' (biological processes) in science class. It is the standard academic adjective for the life sciences.

Das ist ein biologisches Grundprinzip.

Translation: That is a fundamental biological principle.

Furthermore, in the context of health and wellness, biologisch is used to describe a lifestyle. People might talk about their 'biologisches Alter' (biological age) in contrast to their chronological age, often after a fitness test or health checkup. In the news, you might hear about 'biologische Vielfalt' (biodiversity) being threatened by climate change. It’s also common in the cosmetics industry, where 'biologische Inhaltsstoffe' (biological ingredients) are a major selling point. Essentially, whenever the topic touches on nature, health, science, or food quality, biologisch is the key descriptor.

In Social Discussions: Discussions about 'biologische Herkunft' (biological origin) are common in genealogy or when discussing family history.

Er sucht nach seinem biologischen Vater.

Translation: He is searching for his biological father.

Die biologische Vielfalt im Regenwald ist beeindruckend.

Translation: The biodiversity in the rainforest is impressive.

Wir nutzen nur biologische Düngemittel.

Translation: We only use biological fertilizers.

The most frequent mistake English speakers make with biologisch is using the word organisch when they mean 'organic' in the context of food. While 'organic' is the standard English word for pesticide-free farming, the German word organisch is primarily a technical term in chemistry (e.g., organische Chemie) or biology (referring to bodily organs). If you tell a German waiter you want 'organisches Essen,' they might look at you confused, as it sounds like you are asking for 'food made of organs' or 'chemical-based food.' Always use biologisch or Bio for food.

Mistake: Biologisch vs. Organisch: English: 'I buy organic milk.' -> Wrong German: 'Ich kaufe organische Milch.' -> Correct German: 'Ich kaufe biologische Milch' or 'Bio-Milch.'

Nicht 'organisch', sondern biologisch sagen!

Translation: Don't say 'organic' (organisch), say 'biological' (biologisch)!

Mistake: Adjective Endings: Forgetting to decline the word. You cannot say 'das biologisch Brot'; it must be 'das biologische Brot'.

Das biologische Obst schmeckt besser.

Translation: The organic fruit tastes better. (Correct ending: -e)

One more nuance is the difference between biologisch and ökologisch. While they are often used interchangeably in casual speech, ökologisch (ecological) usually refers to the impact on the environment or the system as a whole, whereas biologisch focuses on the production method or the living matter itself. For instance, 'ökologischer Fußabdruck' (ecological footprint) is standard, not 'biologischer Fußabdruck.' Conversely, you wouldn't say 'ökologische Eltern' when referring to biological parents. Getting these subtle distinctions right will make your German sound much more natural and precise.

Mistake: Overusing the full word: In very casual settings, using 'biologisch' can sound a bit stiff. Don't be afraid to use 'Bio' as a prefix or even as a standalone noun in slang (e.g., 'Ist das Bio?').

Wir kaufen nur Bio.

Translation: We only buy organic (short form).

Die biologische Uhr tickt.

Translation: The biological clock is ticking. (Common idiom mistake: don't say 'die organische Uhr')

Ist das biologisch abbaubar?

Translation: Is that biodegradable? (Don't forget the adverbial use has no ending!)

Depending on whether you are talking about science, food, or the environment, there are several alternatives to biologisch. In the context of farming and food, ökologisch is the most direct legal synonym. In the European Union, the terms 'biologisch' and 'ökologisch' are protected and mean the same thing regarding organic standards. However, ökologisch often sounds slightly more 'environmental' or 'system-focused' than biologisch. If you want to emphasize that something is simply 'natural,' you might use natürlich or naturbelassen (unprocessed/natural).

Biologisch vs. Ökologisch: 'Biologisch' focuses on the life/growth process; 'Ökologisch' focuses on the balance of the ecosystem. In food labeling, they are identical.

Das ist ein ökologischer Bauernhof.

Translation: That is an ecological/organic farm.

Biologisch vs. Natürlich: 'Biologisch' implies a certified standard; 'Natürlich' is a broader, less regulated term meaning 'from nature'.

Diese Seife enthält natürliche Öle.

Translation: This soap contains natural oils.

In scientific contexts, you might use biomedizinisch (biomedical) or biochemisch (biochemical) to be more specific. If you are talking about genetics, genetisch is often the better choice. For example, 'genetischer Fingerabdruck' (genetic fingerprint) is more precise than 'biologischer Fingerabdruck' in a crime scene context. When describing the degradation of materials, kompostierbar (compostable) is a specific type of biologisch abbaubar. Understanding these layers of vocabulary allows you to choose the word that best fits the level of formality and the specific domain of your conversation.

Biologisch vs. Nachhaltig: 'Biologisch' is about the 'how' of production; 'Nachhaltig' (sustainable) is about the long-term viability and ethics.

Wir streben eine nachhaltige Entwicklung an.

Translation: We are striving for sustainable development.

Das ist biologisch gesehen unmöglich.

Translation: Biologically speaking, that is impossible.

Es gibt keine biologische Rechtfertigung dafür.

Translation: There is no biological justification for that.

Indo-European (Greek root via Latin and French influence).

문화적 맥락

No specific sensitivities, but be aware that 'biologische Eltern' is the standard term for birth parents.

In English, we say 'organic' for food. In German, 'organisch' is for chemistry. Use 'biologisch' for your salad!
