The German noun "Anspruch" can be translated to English as "claim", "demand", or "entitlement". It is derived from the verb "ansprechen", which means "to address" or "to speak to". In a general sense, "Anspruch" refers to a request or requirement that someone has.
In legal contexts, "Anspruch" can refer to a legal claim or right that an individual has. This could include claims for compensation, property rights, or other legal entitlements. The term can also be used in the context of insurance, where it refers to the policyholder's right to receive benefits or coverage under their insurance policy.
Additionally, "Anspruch" can also have a more abstract meaning, referring to someone's expectations or standards. For example, if someone has high expectations for themselves or others, they might be described as having a high "Anspruch". Similarly, if someone believes they are entitled to certain privileges or treatment, they might be said to have a sense of entitlement or a strong "Anspruch".
