evening newspaper
A newspaper that is published and sold in the late afternoon or evening. It often contains the latest news of the day.
Er kauft sich auf dem Heimweg immer die aktuelle Abendzeitung.
He always buys the latest evening newspaper on his way home.
The word is made up of 'der Abend' (the evening) and 'die Zeitung' (the newspaper). So it literally means a newspaper that appears in the evening.
Früher lasen viele Leute die Abendzeitung, um die Nachrichten des Tages zu erfahren.
In the past, many people read the evening newspaper to find out the news of the day.
Whether the general type of newspaper or the proper name of a specific newspaper is meant can be recognized from context. A geographical clue such as 'Münchner Abendzeitung' (Munich Abendzeitung) or capitalization of the word in the middle of a sentence points to the proper name.
Ich lese eine Abendzeitung, um informiert zu bleiben.
I read an evening newspaper to stay informed.
Common verbs used with the general meaning of 'Abendzeitung' (evening newspaper) are 'kaufen' (to buy), 'lesen' (to read), or 'verkaufen' (to sell). You also often hear that something 'in der Abendzeitung steht' (is in the evening newspaper).
Am Kiosk kann man sich die aktuelle Abendzeitung kaufen.
You can buy the latest evening newspaper at the kiosk.
daily newspaper
'die Tageszeitung' and 'die Abendzeitung' are both newspapers with current news. 'Tageszeitung' is the general term for a newspaper that appears daily, often in the morning. 'Abendzeitung' means a newspaper that appears in the late afternoon or evening and may bring the latest news of the day. In addition, 'die Abendzeitung' can also be the name of a specific newspaper. The words can be confused because both appear regularly and report on current topics. For the normal daily newspaper, people usually say 'Tageszeitung'. If the evening publication time is important, or if a specific title is meant, people say 'Abendzeitung'.
Auf dem Heimweg hat sich Anna die Abendzeitung gekauft.
On the way home, Anna bought herself the evening newspaper.
