Re: raise - rise
Hi Matthias, could anybody explain me the difference between "raise" and
"rise"?
Of course. ;-)
Raise: 'Raise your hand, if you have a question.'
Rise: 'Prices are rising.' or 'The temperature is rising.'
Anders ausgedrückt: 'raise' wird ähnlich wie 'lift' verwendet; 'rise' eher wie 'stand up' o. ä.
Ciao

Re: raise - rise
Hi Matt,
The German government is raísing the taxes, and this is one reason why the unemployment rate is rising.
In other words:
to raise something (anheben, erhöhen), needs an object;
to rise (steigen, rauf gehen, aufgehen (die Sonne))
Yours
Uschi

Re: raise - rise
Hallo Matthias,
Raise is a verb that must have an object and rise is used without an object. When you raise something, you lift it to a higher position or increase it:
"He raised his head from the pillow"
"We were forced to raise the price"
When people or things rise, they move from a lower to a higher position:
"She rose from the chair"
"The helicopter rose into the air"
Rise can also mean 'to increase in number or quantity':
"Costs are always rising"
