B1 Collocation 正式

eine Rolle übernehmen

to take on a role

意思

To accept a specific function or part in a project or situation.

🌍

文化背景

In German companies, 'Rollenklarheit' (role clarity) is essential. People prefer to know exactly what their 'Rolle' is to avoid overlapping with others. Austrians might use the word 'Posten' (post/position) more frequently in political or official contexts, but 'Rolle übernehmen' remains standard for functional tasks. In Swiss direct democracy, citizens often 'übernehmen eine Rolle' in local commissions or 'Milizsystem' (militia system) tasks outside their main job. There is a superstition in German theater that if you 'übernimmst' a role from someone who had an accident, you must spit over your left shoulder for luck.

🎯

Use in Interviews
