Mother's Day
'der Muttertag' and 'der Frauentag' both have to do with women, but they do not mean the same thing. Mother's Day honors mothers and the role of the mother in the family. 'der Frauentag' is International Women's Day on March 8 and stands for women's rights and equality. Learners may confuse the words because both days are often associated with recognition for women. A practical tip: 'Muttertag' means mothers, while 'Frauentag' means women in general and their social rights.
