shopping cart
A small cart on wheels that customers use in a supermarket to transport the items they have selected to the checkout.
Ich habe vergessen, eine Münze für den Einkaufswagen mitzunehmen.
I forgot to bring a coin for the shopping cart.
The word is a clear compound of 'der Einkauf' (shopping) and 'der Wagen' (cart). So it literally describes a cart that you use for shopping.
Für den großen Wocheneinkauf nehme ich immer einen Einkaufswagen.
For the big weekly grocery shop, I always take a shopping cart.
Typical verbs used with 'Einkaufswagen' (shopping cart) are 'nehmen' (to take), 'holen' (to get), 'schieben' (to push), 'füllen' (to fill), and 'zurückbringen' (to return).
Kannst du bitte den Einkaufswagen schieben? Er ist schon ziemlich voll.
Can you please push the shopping cart? It's already pretty full.
In everyday life, the coin or token you need for the shopping cart lock is often important. In that case, people say they need 'etwas für den Einkaufswagen' (something for the shopping cart).
Hast du vielleicht einen Euro für den Einkaufswagen?
Do you maybe have a euro for the shopping cart?
shopping cart / basket of goods
Both words can refer to a place for selected goods. An Einkaufswagen is the cart used in a supermarket, whereas in modern standard usage, a Warenkorb mainly means the virtual collection in an online shop; for a physical cart, Einkaufswagen is the clear choice.
Im Supermarkt legt Mia die ausgewählten Waren in den Einkaufswagen.
In the supermarket, Mia puts the selected items in the shopping cart.
Im Onlineshop legt Mia die ausgewählten Waren in den Warenkorb.
In the online shop, Mia puts the selected items in the shopping cart.
