Akte 30秒了解
- Akte means file or dossier.
- Used for official documents, cases, and records.
- Feminine noun: die Akte, plural: die Akten.
- Common in legal, medical, and administrative contexts.
The German word Akte (pronounced 'AHK-tuh') is a noun that refers to a collection of documents concerning a specific subject, case, or person. Think of it as a file, a dossier, or a record. It's a very common word in official, administrative, legal, and even historical contexts.
When you encounter the word Akte, it usually implies that the documents within are organized and kept together for a particular purpose. This could be a police Akte detailing an investigation, a medical Akte containing a patient's history, a personnel Akte for an employee, or even an archive Akte holding historical records. The term suggests a level of formality and importance associated with the information contained within.
- Formal Contexts
- In legal proceedings, police investigations, or government administration, an Akte is a central piece of evidence or documentation. For instance, a lawyer might request to see the Akte pertaining to a client's case.
- Professional Use
- In many professions, like medicine or human resources, personal or professional information is stored in an Akte. A doctor reviews a patient's medical Akte before an appointment, or an HR manager consults an employee's personnel Akte.
- Historical and Archival
- Historians and archivists often deal with historical Akten, which are collections of documents from past events, organizations, or individuals. These can offer invaluable insights into the past.
- Figurative Use
- While less common, the term can sometimes be used metaphorically to refer to a person's past or a complete record of their life or actions, especially if those actions are being scrutinized.
Die Polizei hat die Akte des Verdächtigen beschlagnahmt.
The word implies organization, completeness within its scope, and often a degree of officialdom. It's a word you'll frequently encounter when dealing with bureaucracy, legal matters, or historical research in German-speaking countries.
For example, in a crime drama, a detective might say, 'Wir brauchen die vollständige Akte zu diesem Fall' (We need the complete file on this case). In a hospital, a nurse might refer to a patient's 'medizinische Akte' (medical record). The plural form is 'Akten'.
Der Historiker studierte die alten Akten im Archiv.
Understanding Akte is crucial for navigating official documents and understanding contexts where detailed records are kept. It's a fundamental term in German for anyone dealing with administration, law, or historical research.
Using Akte correctly involves understanding its grammatical gender (feminine) and its common collocations. As a feminine noun, it takes the article 'die' in the nominative singular and 'der' in the genitive singular. The plural is 'die Akten'.
Here are various ways to incorporate Akte into sentences, illustrating its usage in different contexts:
- Possession and Reference
- We often refer to specific Akten or a person's Akte. For example: 'Ich habe die Akte meines Vaters im Büro gefunden.' (I found my father's file in the office.) This uses the genitive case to show possession: 'die Akte meines Vaters'.
- Actions Related to Akten
- Verbs commonly used with Akte include 'öffnen' (to open), 'schließen' (to close), 'erstellen' (to create), 'einsehen' (to review/inspect), 'archivieren' (to archive), and 'sichern' (to secure). For example: 'Der Anwalt muss die Akte des Falls noch heute einsehen.' (The lawyer must review the case file today.)
- Describing the Content
- You can describe the nature of the Akte. Examples include: 'eine geheime Akte' (a secret file), 'eine vollständige Akte' (a complete file), 'eine wichtige Akte' (an important file), or 'eine umfangreiche Akte' (an extensive file).
- Legal and Administrative Contexts
- In official settings, sentences might sound like: 'Die Akte wurde zur Prüfung an die zuständige Behörde weitergeleitet.' (The file was forwarded to the competent authority for examination.) Or: 'Bitte legen Sie die neue Akte für den Kunden an.' (Please create the new file for the customer.)
- Historical and Personal Records
- When referring to historical documents or personal records: 'Die Akte des berühmten Dichters enthält viele unveröffentlichte Gedichte.' (The famous poet's file contains many unpublished poems.) Or: 'Jeder Mitarbeiter hat eine eigene Personalakte.' (Every employee has their own personnel file.)
Die Ermittler durchsuchten die Akte nach entscheidenden Hinweisen.
Remember that Akte is always singular when referring to one file. For multiple files, use the plural 'Akten'. For example: 'Die Akten stapelten sich auf dem Schreibtisch.' (The files were piled up on the desk.)
Wir benötigen die vollständige Akte, um die Situation zu verstehen.
Mastering these sentence structures will help you use Akte naturally and effectively in your German conversations and writing.
The word Akte is a staple in several environments where information is systematically collected and stored. You'll hear it frequently in official, professional, and academic settings.
- Courthouses and Law Offices
- This is perhaps the most common place to hear Akte. Lawyers, judges, clerks, and paralegals constantly refer to case files. You might hear phrases like: 'Bitte bringen Sie die Akte Nummer 123 herein.' (Please bring in file number 123.) or 'Die Akte enthält alle Beweismittel.' (The file contains all the evidence.)
- Police Stations and Detective Series
- In police procedurals, whether on TV or in real life, the term Akte is ubiquitous. Detectives pore over suspect files, investigation reports, and evidence logs, all contained within an Akte. 'Wir haben eine neue Akte über den Serienverbrecher eröffnet.' (We have opened a new file on the serial offender.)
- Hospitals and Doctor's Offices
- Medical records are referred to as 'medizinische Akte' or simply 'Akte'. Doctors and nurses consult patient histories, test results, and treatment plans stored in these files. 'Können Sie mir die Akte von Herrn Müller geben?' (Can you give me Mr. Müller's file?)
- Government Offices and Administration
- Any bureaucratic process, from applying for a permit to managing citizen records, involves Akten. 'Die Akte wurde zur Genehmigung weitergeleitet.' (The file was forwarded for approval.)
- Archives and Libraries
- Historical research often involves delving into old Akten. Archivists manage and catalogue these collections of documents. 'Diese Akte stammt aus dem 18. Jahrhundert.' (This file dates from the 18th century.)
- Human Resources Departments
- Employee records, contracts, and performance reviews are kept in personnel files, or 'Personalakten'. 'Die Personalakte muss stets vertraulich behandelt werden.' (The personnel file must always be treated confidentially.)
Im Archiv fand er eine Akte über die Stadtgeschichte.
Beyond these formal settings, you might hear Akte used more informally when someone is referring to a collection of papers related to a specific project or hobby, though this is less common than its official usage.
Der Detektiv forderte die vollständige Akte des Falls an.
Essentially, any situation requiring organized documentation for a specific purpose is a likely place to encounter the word Akte.
When learning German, learners sometimes make mistakes with the word Akte, often related to its gender, pluralization, or confusion with similar-sounding words. Being aware of these pitfalls can help you use the word more accurately.
- Incorrect Gender Assignment
- Akte is a feminine noun ('die Akte'). A common mistake is to use the masculine ('der Akte') or neuter ('das Akte') article. For example, saying 'der Akte' instead of 'die Akte' when referring to a single file. Always remember 'die Akte'.
- Pluralization Errors
- The plural of Akte is 'Akten'. Learners might incorrectly add '-n' or '-en' to the singular form or use an incorrect plural form. For instance, saying 'die Aktenen' instead of 'die Akten'. The plural is straightforward: 'Akten'.
- Confusing 'Akte' with 'Akt'
- The word 'Akt' (masculine, 'der Akt') exists in German and can mean 'act' (as in a play or a law) or 'deed'. While related etymologically, 'Akte' specifically refers to the collection of documents. Confusing the two can lead to nonsensical sentences. For example, saying 'die Akt des Falls' when you mean 'die Akte des Falls'.
- Overusing 'Akte' for Single Documents
- While Akte refers to a collection of documents, learners might sometimes use it to refer to a single sheet of paper or a simple document. For a single document, words like 'Dokument', 'Papier', or 'Schriftstück' are more appropriate. 'Akte' implies a compilation.
- Incorrect Case Usage
- Like all German nouns, Akte changes its article and ending depending on its grammatical case (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative). Mistakes in case endings, especially in the genitive ('der Akte') and dative ('der Akte'), are common. For example, using 'die Akte' when the dative is required after a preposition like 'mit' (with), which would be 'mit der Akte'.
Falsch: Ich habe den Akt des Falls gefunden. Richtig: Ich habe die Akte des Falls gefunden.
Paying close attention to the gender and pluralization, and understanding the distinction between 'Akte' and 'Akt', are key to mastering this word and avoiding common errors.
Falsch: Er öffnete die Akten. Richtig: Er öffnete die Akte (wenn nur eine gemeint ist).
Remember that context is crucial. If someone is talking about a play, they mean 'der Akt'. If they are talking about a case file, they mean 'die Akte'.
While Akte is the most common and direct translation for 'file' or 'dossier' in many official contexts, German offers other words that might be used depending on the nuance and specific situation. Understanding these alternatives can enrich your vocabulary.
- Dossier
- Akte is very similar to the English loanword 'Dossier'. In German, 'das Dossier' is also used, often for a collection of documents concerning a specific person or topic, especially in intelligence or journalistic contexts. It carries a similar meaning to Akte but might sometimes imply a more specialized or investigative collection of information.
Example: 'Die Journalisten sammelten alle Informationen in einem Dossier.' (The journalists gathered all the information in a dossier.) Unlike Akte, 'Dossier' is neuter. - Unterlagen
- 'Die Unterlagen' (plural) translates to 'documents' or 'papers'. This is a more general term for any set of documents, not necessarily organized into a single file. While an Akte consists of 'Unterlagen', 'Unterlagen' doesn't necessarily form an Akte.
Example: 'Bitte bringen Sie alle notwendigen Unterlagen mit.' (Please bring all necessary documents.) This is plural and neuter ('die Unterlagen'). - Schriftstücke
- 'Die Schriftstücke' (plural) refers to written documents, papers, or deeds. Similar to 'Unterlagen', it's more general than Akte. It emphasizes the written nature of the documents.
Example: 'Die Akte enthielt wichtige Schriftstücke aus dem Mittelalter.' (The file contained important medieval documents.) 'Schriftstücke' is plural and neuter ('die Schriftstücke'). - Datei
- 'Die Datei' translates to 'file' in the digital sense. While Akte can sometimes refer to a digital folder in a computer system, 'Datei' is the primary term for a computer file.
Example: 'Speichern Sie die Informationen in einer neuen Datei.' (Save the information in a new file.) 'Datei' is feminine ('die Datei'). - Vorgang
- 'Der Vorgang' means 'process', 'procedure', 'case', or 'incident'. While an Akte might be created for a specific 'Vorgang', the 'Vorgang' itself is the event or process, not the collection of documents.
Example: 'Der gesamte Vorgang wurde sorgfältig dokumentiert.' (The entire process was carefully documented.) 'Vorgang' is masculine ('der Vorgang'). - Fall
- 'Der Fall' translates to 'case' (as in a legal case, medical case, or a specific instance). An Akte is often created to document a 'Fall'.
Example: 'Die Polizei ermittelt in diesem Fall.' (The police are investigating this case.) 'Fall' is masculine ('der Fall').
Die Akte enthält wichtige Unterlagen zum Fall.
Understanding the subtle differences between these words allows for more precise and nuanced communication in German.
Der Anwalt benötigte die Akte, um den Fall zu analysieren.
How Formal Is It?
"Die Akte wurde zur Prüfung an die zuständige Stelle weitergeleitet."
"Der Anwalt bat um Einsicht in die Akte."
"Hast du die Akte von Max?"
"Das ist ein Ordner mit Papieren, wie eine Akte für die Schule."
趣味小知识
The English word 'act' and the German word 'Akt' (meaning deed or act) share the same Latin root 'actum'. However, 'Akte' in German evolved to specifically mean the collection of documents, distinguishing it from 'Akt'.

如何使用
High, especially in professional and official contexts.
-
Using 'der Akte' instead of 'die Akte'.
→
die Akte
'Akte' is a feminine noun. Learners often incorrectly assign it a masculine article ('der') or confuse it with masculine nouns like 'Akt'. Always remember 'die Akte'.
-
Incorrect plural: 'Aktenen' or 'Aktenen'.
→
die Akten
The plural of 'Akte' is simply 'Akten'. There is no additional '-en' ending in the plural form. This is a common error when learners try to over-regularize noun plurals.
-
Confusing 'Akte' with 'Akt'.
→
Akte (file) vs. Akt (act/deed/play part)
'Akte' is feminine and means file/dossier. 'Akt' is masculine and means an act or deed. Their meanings and grammatical genders are distinct, despite sounding similar. Example: 'Die Akte des Falls' (the case file) vs. 'Der Akt der Gewalt' (the act of violence).
-
Using 'Akte' for a single sheet of paper.
→
Dokument, Papier, Schriftstück
'Akte' refers to a collection or file of documents. For a single sheet, use 'Dokument' (document), 'Papier' (paper), or 'Schriftstück' (written document).
-
Incorrect case usage, e.g., 'mit die Akte'.
→
mit der Akte
Prepositions require specific cases. The preposition 'mit' (with) always takes the dative case. Since 'Akte' is feminine, the dative singular article is 'der', not 'die'.
小贴士
Remember the Gender!
Akte is feminine ('die Akte'). This is crucial for correct article and adjective endings. Always associate it with 'die'.
Link to 'Act'
Connect 'Akte' to the English word 'act' but remember it means the *documentation* of an act or case, not the act itself. Think of a detective reviewing the 'act-file'.
Soft Ending
The final 'e' in 'Akte' is a soft schwa sound ('uh'). Don't pronounce it as a hard 't' or omit it completely. Aim for 'AHK-tuh'.
Official Settings
You'll hear 'Akte' most often in formal environments like courts, police stations, hospitals, and government offices. This association can help you remember its meaning.
Akte vs. Akt
Never confuse 'Akte' (feminine, file) with 'Akt' (masculine, act/deed/play part). They sound similar but are entirely different words with distinct grammatical genders.
Simple Plural
The plural of 'Akte' is 'Akten'. It's a straightforward addition of '-n'. Remember to use the feminine plural article 'die' for 'Akten'.
'Akte' or 'Datei'?
For digital computer files, use 'Datei'. 'Akte' is more typically for physical files or a structured collection of documents, though it can extend to digital equivalents in an organizational sense.
Common Verb Pairings
Learn common verbs used with 'Akte', such as 'anlegen' (to create), 'einsehen' (to review), 'schließen' (to close), and 'archivieren' (to archive). This will help you use it more naturally.
Sentence Building
Create your own sentences using 'Akte' in different contexts. Try to include the genitive case ('der Akte') and the plural ('Akten') to solidify your understanding.
记住它
记忆技巧
Imagine a detective named 'Ace' (sounds like 'Akte') who is always meticulously filing away every piece of evidence in a huge case. He has a massive 'Ace-te' (Akte) for every criminal.
视觉联想
Picture a thick, official-looking file folder, perhaps in a classic manila color, with the word 'AKTE' stamped prominently on it. Imagine it filled with important-looking papers, seals, and perhaps a ribbon holding it together.
Word Web
挑战
Try to describe a situation from a movie or TV show that involves a significant file or dossier, using the word 'Akte' at least three times in your description.
词源
The word 'Akte' comes from the Latin word 'actum', meaning 'deed' or 'act'. It entered German through French ('acte'). Initially, it referred to an act or deed itself, but over time, its meaning shifted to encompass the collection of documents related to that act or deed.
原始含义： Deed, act, written record of an act.
Indo-European > Italic > Latin > Romance > French > German文化背景
The term 'Akte' itself is neutral, but the context in which it's used can be sensitive. For example, a 'Personalakte' (personnel file) or 'Stasi-Akte' (Stasi file) contains private or politically sensitive information that requires careful handling and confidentiality.
In English-speaking countries, similar concepts exist with words like 'file', 'dossier', 'record', or 'case file'. However, the German 'Akte' often carries a stronger connotation of officialdom and a complete, organized collection of related documents.

常见问题
10 个问题No, 'Akte' is a feminine noun in German. Its article is 'die Akte' in the nominative singular and 'die Akten' in the plural. This is a common point of confusion for learners, so always remember it's 'die Akte'.
The plural of 'Akte' is 'Akten'. For example, if you're referring to multiple case files, you would say 'die Akten'.
While 'Akte' can sometimes refer to a digital folder or collection of digital documents in an organizational sense, the primary and more common word for a digital computer file is 'Datei'. So, for a Word document or a PDF, you'd typically use 'Datei'.
This is a crucial distinction. 'Akte' (feminine) means a file or dossier, a collection of documents. 'Akt' (masculine) means an act or deed, or a part of a play. They sound similar but have very different meanings. For example, a detective reviews the 'Akte' (file), while an actor performs in the 'Akt' (act) of a play.
'Akte' is most commonly used in formal and official contexts. This includes legal settings (case files), medical environments (patient records), government administration, police investigations, and historical archives. It implies a structured and organized collection of documents.
Yes, depending on the context. 'Dossier' is a close synonym, often used for investigative or journalistic files. 'Unterlagen' is a more general term for documents. 'Schriftstücke' refers specifically to written documents. For digital files, 'Datei' is used.
It's pronounced 'AHK-tuh'. The stress is on the first syllable ('AK-'). The 'A' is open like in 'father', the 'k' is standard, and the final 'e' is a soft schwa sound, similar to the 'a' in 'sofa'.
'Aktenzeichen' means 'file number' or 'case number'. It's a unique identifier assigned to an 'Akte' for easy reference and tracking, commonly used in official correspondence.
Yes, occasionally. For instance, 'die Akte X' is a metaphorical reference to mysterious or unexplained phenomena, inspired by the TV show. It can also be used informally to refer to someone's history or record.
The word itself is not difficult in terms of pronunciation or basic meaning. The main challenge lies in mastering its grammatical gender (feminine), its plural form ('Akten'), and using it correctly in various grammatical cases and contexts, especially distinguishing it from 'Akt'.

Summary
Akte is the German word for a file or dossier, referring to a structured collection of documents related to a specific subject, case, or person, commonly found in official, legal, and administrative settings.
- Akte means file or dossier.
- Used for official documents, cases, and records.
- Feminine noun: die Akte, plural: die Akten.
- Common in legal, medical, and administrative contexts.
Remember the Gender!
Akte is feminine ('die Akte'). This is crucial for correct article and adjective endings. Always associate it with 'die'.
Context is Key
While 'Akte' often translates to 'file', its specific meaning can vary. Pay attention to the context (legal, medical, historical) to understand what kind of 'Akte' is being discussed.
Link to 'Act'
Connect 'Akte' to the English word 'act' but remember it means the *documentation* of an act or case, not the act itself. Think of a detective reviewing the 'act-file'.
Soft Ending
The final 'e' in 'Akte' is a soft schwa sound ('uh'). Don't pronounce it as a hard 't' or omit it completely. Aim for 'AHK-tuh'.
