Usage tips
Compound word
'Badesachen' (swimming gear) consists of 'Bade-' (bathing) and 'Sachen' (things). The component 'Bade-' indicates a connection to bathing and also helps you understand compounds such as 'Badehose' (swimming trunks) or 'Badetuch' (bath towel).
EXAMPLE
Zu meinen Badesachen gehören eine Badehose und ein Badetuch.
My swimming gear includes swimming trunks and a bath towel.
Typical collocations
Common phrases include 'Badesachen einpacken' (to pack your swimming gear), 'Badesachen mitnehmen' (to take your swimming gear along), and 'Badesachen vergessen' (to forget your swimming gear). They are especially useful when you are planning a swimming trip.
EXAMPLE
Nimm deine Badesachen mit, im Hotel gibt es einen Pool.
Take your swimming gear along; there's a pool at the hotel.
Clothing being worn
In the phrase 'in Badesachen' (in swimwear), the focus is on the clothing someone is wearing, rather than all the things they have brought along. In this pattern, 'in' takes the dative case, as in 'in ihren Badesachen' (in their swimwear).
EXAMPLE
Die Kinder liefen in ihren Badesachen durch den Garten.
The children ran through the garden in their swimwear.
