Flyer vs Plakat

poster

'das Plakat' and 'der Flyer' both have to do with printed advertising or information. However, they are used differently. A 'Plakat' is large and hangs in a visible place so that many people see it. A 'Flyer' is small, usually a single sheet that you are given or take with you. The words can be confused because both can advertise an event, for example. Remember: a 'Plakat' hangs up; a 'Flyer' is handed out.

Visual example for Plakat
