evening newspaper
A newspaper that is published in the evening and often summarizes the latest news of the day.
Er liest jeden Tag nach der Arbeit das Abendblatt, um auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben.
He reads the evening newspaper every day after work to stay up to date.
The word is made up of 'Abend' (evening), the linking -s, and 'Blatt' (paper/sheet). 'Blatt' is a common term for a newspaper. An 'Abendblatt' is therefore literally a 'Blatt' (paper), or a newspaper that appears in the evening.
Früher war es üblich, sich abends mit dem Abendblatt über die Nachrichten des Tages zu informieren.
In the past, it was common to inform yourself about the day's news in the evening with the evening newspaper.
Common verbs used in connection with 'Abendblatt' (evening newspaper) are 'lesen' (to read), 'kaufen' (to buy), or 'abonnieren' (to subscribe). If a news item is published in it, you say it 'steht im Abendblatt' (is in the evening newspaper).
Ich habe im Abendblatt gelesen, dass die neue Brücke eröffnet wurde.
I read in the evening newspaper that the new bridge was opened.
'Abendblatt' (evening newspaper) is often a fixed part of the official name of a regional newspaper, as in the 'Hamburger Abendblatt', for example.
Das „Hamburger Abendblatt“ ist eine bekannte Zeitung in Norddeutschland.
The 'Hamburger Abendblatt' is a well-known newspaper in northern Germany.

'das Blatt' and 'das Abendblatt' can both refer to a newspaper. 'Blatt' is more general and can mean a newspaper or magazine. 'Abendblatt' is more specific: it is a newspaper that is published in the evening or summarizes the day's news. The word also often appears in fixed newspaper names. The risk of confusion comes from the fact that both words sound like newspapers. If the time of day does not matter, 'Blatt' is enough. If you are talking about an evening newspaper or a newspaper title, 'Abendblatt' fits better.
Nach der Arbeit liest Herr Schneider das Abendblatt im Zug.
