Rente
( pl Renten )die
pension
auf oder in Rente gehen to retire
| Rente |
| Rente is a false friend which has nothing to do with the English words rent or rental; it refers to a person's pension. So the phrase Meine Mutter ist letztes Jahr in Rente gegangen can be translated as My mother began drawing her pension last year. |
| In German, the money one pays in rent for a flat is die Miete, and a car rental company is ein Autoverleih . |
