Hello folks,
could anybody explain me the difference between „raise“ and „rise“?
Best wishes

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.

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

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“
