You can almost always recognize the meaning of 'Einlage' (insert / deposit / performance) from the context. Words like 'Suppe' (soup) or 'Schuh' (shoe) point to an object, 'Konto' (account) or 'GmbH' (limited liability company) to finance, and 'Bühne' (stage) or 'Musik' (music) to a performance.

In this meaning, 'Einlage' (insert) is often used for two areas: food and clothing/shoes. Typical combinations are 'Suppeneinlage' (soup garnish/insert) or 'Grießnockerl als Einlage' (semolina dumplings as an insert), as well as 'Schuheinlage' (shoe insert/insole) or 'orthopädische Einlage' (orthopedic insole).

In a financial context, 'Einlage' (deposit) is often combined with certain verbs and nouns.
