der Bewerber 30초 만에

  • Der Bewerber: A person actively applying for a job, position, or opportunity.
  • Key action: Submitting an application.
  • Common contexts: Job applications, university admissions, scholarships.
  • Masculine noun: Remember 'die Bewerberin' for female.
Definition
The German noun 'der Bewerber' refers to a person who is applying for something, most commonly a job, a position, a scholarship, or admission to an educational institution. It's the individual who actively seeks to be considered for an opportunity by submitting an application.
Contexts
You will encounter 'der Bewerber' in professional settings, such as during recruitment processes, in job advertisements, and when discussing career advancements. It is also used in academic contexts, for instance, when applying for university or for a student position. In essence, any situation where an individual formally expresses interest in and applies for a role or opportunity will involve the term 'der Bewerber'. Think of it as the active party in the application process.
Etymology
The word 'Bewerber' is derived from the verb 'bewerben', which means 'to apply for'. The '-er' suffix in German often denotes a person who performs an action. Therefore, 'Bewerber' literally means 'one who applies'. This connection to the action of applying makes the meaning quite direct and understandable.

Der Bewerber reichte seine Unterlagen fristgerecht ein.

Distinction
It's important to distinguish 'der Bewerber' from 'der Interessent' (interested party). While an 'Interessent' might be curious or show initial interest, 'der Bewerber' has taken the concrete step of submitting an application. The 'Bewerber' is further along in the process than someone who is merely 'interessiert'.

Die Firma prüft jeden Bewerber sorgfältig.

Gender
Remember that 'der Bewerber' is masculine. The feminine form is 'die Bewerberin'. When referring to a mixed group or generically, the masculine plural 'die Bewerber' is often used, though inclusive language is becoming more common, sometimes leading to phrases like 'Bewerberinnen und Bewerber'.

Es gab viele Bewerber für die Stelle.

Basic Sentence Structure
'Der Bewerber' typically functions as the subject or object in a sentence. As a subject, it performs the action of applying or being considered. As an object, it is the recipient of actions like 'interviewing', 'rejecting', or 'accepting'.

Als Subjekt: Der Bewerber wartet auf eine Antwort.

With Verbs
Common verbs associated with 'Bewerber' include: 'sein' (to be), 'werden' (to become), 'haben' (to have), 'erhalten' (to receive), 'einreichen' (to submit), 'überzeugen' (to convince), 'absagen' (to reject), 'zusagen' (to accept), 'erwarten' (to expect), 'suchen' (to seek), 'finden' (to find), 'befragen' (to interview), and 'auswählen' (to select).

Als Objekt: Wir haben jeden Bewerber eingeladen.

Prepositional Phrases
'Der Bewerber' can be used with prepositions like 'für' (for), 'von' (from), 'als' (as), 'bei' (at/with), and 'nach' (after). For example, 'ein Bewerber für eine Stelle' (an applicant for a position), 'ein guter Bewerber' (a good applicant), 'ein Bewerber von einer anderen Universität' (an applicant from another university).

Der Bewerber für das Stipendium muss sich vorstellen.

Plural Forms
The plural form is 'die Bewerber'. This can refer to multiple male applicants, or a mixed group of male and female applicants. For clarity, especially in formal contexts, one might say 'die Bewerberinnen und Bewerber'.

Die Personalabteilung prüft alle Bewerber.

Adjectival Phrases
Adjectives often describe the 'Bewerber', such as 'qualifiziert' (qualified), 'ungeeignet' (unsuitable), 'erfolgreich' (successful), 'enttäuscht' (disappointed), 'motiviert' (motivated), 'jung' (young), or 'alt' (old). The adjective endings will change based on the case and gender of 'Bewerber'.

Ein qualifizierter Bewerber hat gute Chancen.

Job Interviews
This is perhaps the most common context. During a job interview process, HR managers, recruiters, and hiring managers frequently discuss the candidates. You'll hear phrases like: 'Wie viele Bewerber haben wir?', 'Der Bewerber war sehr nervös.', 'Wir müssen die Top drei Bewerber auswählen.', or 'Hat der Bewerber alle Fragen beantwortet?' This is where the term is central to the conversation.

Der Personalchef sprach mit jedem Bewerber einzeln.

University Admissions
When applying to universities, colleges, or specific programs, the term is used extensively. Admissions officers might say: 'Wir prüfen die Unterlagen jedes Bewerbers sorgfältig.', 'Die Zulassungsquote für diesen Studiengang ist niedrig, es gibt viele Bewerber.', or 'Der beste Bewerber für das Masterprogramm wurde angenommen.' This applies to both undergraduate and graduate admissions.

Die Universität hat Tausende von Bewerbern für nur hundert Plätze.

Job Advertisements
In job postings, companies often describe the ideal candidate. You might see phrases like: 'Wir suchen einen engagierten Bewerber.', 'Bitte senden Sie Ihre vollständigen Bewerbungsunterlagen als PDF an die angegebene E-Mail-Adresse. Wir werden jeden Bewerber kontaktieren.', or 'Nur vollständige Bewerbungen werden berücksichtigt. Der ideale Bewerber verfügt über X Jahre Erfahrung.' This sets the stage for who is expected to apply.

Die Anzeige beschreibt den gesuchten Bewerber genau.

Scholarship and Grant Applications
Similar to university admissions, when applying for scholarships, grants, or funding, the term 'Bewerber' is crucial. Foundations or committees will discuss 'die Auswahl der besten Bewerber', 'die Kriterien für jeden Bewerber', or 'ob der Bewerber die Voraussetzungen erfüllt'.

Der Bewerber erhielt das Forschungsstipendium.

Internal Promotions
Even within a company, when employees apply for internal positions or promotions, they become 'Bewerber'. Managers might discuss 'die internen Bewerber' versus 'die externen Bewerber' or evaluate 'wie gut der interne Bewerber auf die neue Rolle vorbereitet ist'.

Der langjährige Mitarbeiter ist ein vielversprechender Bewerber.

Confusing Masculine and Feminine Forms
A very common mistake for learners is to use 'der Bewerber' for a female applicant. Remember, German nouns have grammatical gender. 'Der Bewerber' is specifically masculine. For a female applicant, the correct term is 'die Bewerberin'. When referring to a group of mixed genders, the plural 'die Bewerber' is often used, but it's important to be aware of the distinction.

Incorrect: Die Bewerber war sehr qualifiziert. (If referring to a female applicant)

Incorrect Usage of Plural
Sometimes learners might use the singular form 'Bewerber' when they mean multiple applicants. The plural is 'die Bewerber'. For instance, saying 'Wir haben viele Bewerber' is correct, while 'Wir haben viele Bewerber' would be incorrect. Pay attention to the article ('der' vs. 'die') and the noun ending if applicable.

Incorrect: Ein Bewerber hat die Stelle bekommen. (If referring to a group of applicants)

Confusing with 'Kandidat' or 'Anwärter'
While 'Kandidat' (candidate) and 'Anwärter' (aspiring candidate, contender) are related, they are not always interchangeable. 'Bewerber' specifically refers to someone who has actively submitted an application. 'Kandidat' can be broader, referring to someone in the running, even if they haven't formally applied yet. 'Anwärter' often implies a more formal claim or aspiration, like for a title or a specific position that is already somewhat defined.

Incorrect: Er ist ein Bewerber für den Thron. (More accurately 'Anwärter')

Incorrect Case Endings
As with all German nouns, 'der Bewerber' changes its ending depending on its grammatical case (nominative, accusative, dative, genitive) and whether it's singular or plural. Forgetting these endings is a frequent issue. For example, in the dative case, it becomes 'dem Bewerber', and in the genitive, 'des Bewerbers'.

Incorrect: Ich habe mit den Bewerber gesprochen. (Should be 'Bewerbern' in dative plural)

Der Kandidat
'Der Kandidat' is a very close synonym and often used interchangeably with 'der Bewerber', especially in the context of job applications or elections. However, 'Kandidat' can sometimes imply someone who is already shortlisted or is a strong contender, whereas 'Bewerber' is the more general term for anyone who has applied. In many everyday situations, they mean the same thing.
Example Comparison: 'Jeder Bewerber für die Stelle muss einen Test absolvieren.' vs. 'Die drei besten Kandidaten werden zum Vorstellungsgespräch eingeladen.'
Die Anwärterin / Der Anwärter
'Der Anwärter' (and its feminine form 'die Anwärterin') implies someone who is aspiring to a specific title, position, or privilege, often one that is already somewhat defined or has a clear path. It suggests a claim or a right to contend for something. For example, someone vying for a throne or a specific award might be called 'Anwärter'. It's less about submitting a general application and more about asserting a claim.
Example Comparison: 'Er ist Anwärter auf die Nachfolge des Geschäftsführers.' (He is a contender for the CEO's succession.) This is more specific than just being a general applicant.
Der Interessent
'Der Interessent' refers to someone who is interested in something, but has not yet necessarily taken the step to formally apply. It's a more passive state of curiosity or preliminary interest. A 'Bewerber' has moved beyond mere interest and has submitted an application.
Example Comparison: 'Viele Interessenten informierten sich über die neue Software, aber nur wenige wurden zu Bewerbern.' (Many interested parties inquired about the new software, but only a few became applicants.)
Der Bewerbungskandidat
This is a compound word that explicitly combines 'Bewerbung' (application) and 'Kandidat'. It's essentially a more descriptive way of saying 'applicant' or 'candidate for an application'. It's less common than 'Bewerber' or 'Kandidat' on its own but is perfectly understandable and used in formal contexts.
Example: 'Der Bewerbungskandidat musste seine Motivation darlegen.' (The application candidate had to explain their motivation.)

How Formal Is It?

재미있는 사실

The verb 'bewerben' itself comes from the Middle High German 'berwen', meaning 'to adorn' or 'to prepare'. This might suggest an older sense of preparing oneself or presenting oneself for something.

der Bewerber vs Der Bewerber

Correct: Der <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>Bewerber</mark> (nom. masc. sing.).

자주 하는 실수
  • Using 'der Bewerber' for a female applicant. Use 'die Bewerberin' for a female applicant.

    German nouns have grammatical gender. 'Bewerber' is masculine. The feminine form is 'Bewerberin'. Using the masculine form for a female is incorrect.

  • Incorrect case endings for 'Bewerber'. Ensure correct article and noun endings based on case (e.g., 'dem Bewerber' in dative, 'des Bewerbers' in genitive).

    Masculine nouns like 'Bewerber' have specific declension patterns that learners often struggle with. Forgetting these endings leads to grammatical errors.

  • Confusing 'Bewerber' with 'Kandidat' or 'Interessent'. Use 'Bewerber' for someone who has formally applied. 'Kandidat' is broader (in contention), and 'Interessent' is just interested.

    While related, these terms have distinct nuances. 'Bewerber' specifically refers to the act of applying, making it more precise in certain contexts.

  • Using the singular form when referring to multiple applicants. Use the plural 'die Bewerber' when referring to more than one applicant.

    Forgetting to pluralize or using the wrong plural form is a common error, especially when the singular and plural forms look similar ('Bewerber' vs. 'Bewerber'). The article ('der' vs. 'die') is key.

  • Incorrect adjective declension before 'Bewerber'. Ensure adjectives agree in gender, number, and case with 'Bewerber'. For example, 'ein qualifizierter Bewerber' (nominative), not 'ein qualifiziert Bewerber'.

    Adjective declension is a complex area in German. When an adjective modifies 'Bewerber', it must follow the correct ending rules, which depend on the article and case.

Mastering Declension

Remember that 'Bewerber' is a masculine noun. Its declension changes significantly depending on its grammatical role in the sentence (case). Practice using it with different articles and in various sentence structures to solidify your understanding of 'der', 'den', 'dem', and 'des'.

Gender Awareness

Always be mindful of the gender. Use 'der Bewerber' for males and 'die Bewerberin' for females. When referring to groups or unknown gender, 'die Bewerber' (plural) is common, but consider inclusive language like 'Bewerberinnen und Bewerber' in formal contexts.

Stress and Sounds

The stress is on the second syllable: Be-WER-ber. Pay attention to the 'w' sounding like a 'v' and the final 'er' sounding like a soft schwa. Practice saying it aloud.

Connect to 'Bewerben'

Link the noun 'Bewerber' directly to its verb 'sich bewerben' (to apply). This reinforces the meaning: the 'Bewerber' is the one who 'sich bewirbt'.

Knowing Alternatives

While 'Bewerber' is common, be aware of 'Kandidat' (candidate) and 'Anwärter' (contender). Understand the subtle differences in nuance and formality to choose the most appropriate term.

Sentence Building

Create your own sentences using 'Bewerber' in different grammatical cases and contexts. Try writing about a hypothetical job application or university admission scenario.

Formal Tone

In German-speaking cultures, the application process is often formal. When using 'Bewerber' in writing or speech, maintain a professional and respectful tone, especially in official communications.

Avoid Gender Mistakes

The most common mistake is using 'der Bewerber' for a female applicant. Always use 'die Bewerberin' for women. This is a fundamental aspect of correct German usage.

Expand Your Vocabulary

Learn related terms like 'Bewerbung' (application), 'Vorstellungsgespräch' (interview), and 'Arbeitgeber' (employer) to build a stronger understanding of the entire application process.

문화적 맥락

While 'der Bewerber' is a standard term, it's important to use inclusive language like 'Bewerberinnen und Bewerber' or gender-neutral terms when possible, especially in public communications, to ensure all applicants feel respected.

In English, we use 'applicant' or 'candidate'. The German 'Bewerber' is very direct in its meaning of someone who applies.

Job application portals like StepStone or Indeed often feature articles discussing the role of the 'Bewerber'. University admission guidelines and brochures frequently refer to the 'Bewerber' and their responsibilities. German business news and career advice columns regularly discuss the qualities of an ideal 'Bewerber'.
