Einwendung vs Zweifel

doubt

'der Zweifel' and 'die Einwendung' can both show that you do not simply accept something. 'Zweifel' is more of an inner thought or a feeling of uncertainty. 'Einwendung' is an expressed objection or counterargument against a proposal, statement, or measure. The word often sounds somewhat more formal, but it can also be used in discussions. So you can have doubts and turn them into an 'Einwendung' if you say those doubts out loud.
