Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.The word kostenlos is derived from the German words 'kosten' meaning 'cost' and 'los' meaning 'without'. Therefore, kostenlos can be understood as something that does not require any payment or expense.
Kostenlos is commonly used in various contexts to describe things that are available without charge. For example, you might see advertisements for 'kostenlose Spiele' which means 'free games', or websites offering 'kostenlose Downloads' which refers to free downloads.
It's important to note that while kostenlos generally implies no monetary cost, it doesn't necessarily mean that there are no other requirements or conditions. Some services or products may be labeled as kostenlos but may still require registration or personal information.
