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
'der Einkaufswagen' and 'der Warenkorb' can both be something in which you collect goods before paying. The difference is usually the place. 'der Einkaufswagen' is the real cart with wheels in a supermarket. Today, 'der Warenkorb' very often means the virtual area in an online shop where products are saved before purchase. In a store, 'Warenkorb' can also mean a real basket or cart, but in everyday language people more often say 'Einkaufskorb' (shopping basket) or 'Einkaufswagen' (shopping cart) for that. Learners confuse the words because both have to do with shopping and the checkout. Memory tip: In the supermarket you push the Einkaufswagen; online you fill the Warenkorb.
Vor dem Wochenende ist der Einkaufswagen schnell voll mit Getränken und Gemüse.
Before the weekend, the shopping cart quickly fills up with drinks and vegetables.
Bevor du bestellst, solltest du den Warenkorb noch einmal prüfen.
Before you order, you should check the shopping cart once more.
