Mitarbeiter

Mitarbeiter

German

Noun

Mitarbeiter m (genitive Mitarbeiters, plural Mitarbeiter, feminine Mitarbeiterin)

  1. employee; person who works, with others, in a particular business
  2. assistant; person who assists another person in a business

Usage notes

Mitarbeiter is a semantic false friend of English coworker: although it is made up of elements that mean "co-" and "worker", Mitarbeiter means "employee", not quite "coworker" (which in German is Kollege).
