Hashtag vs Tag

day

'der Tag' and 'der Hashtag' look similar, but in these meanings they do not mean the same thing. 'der Tag' means a day as a unit of time: 24 hours, the daylight hours, or a specific date. 'der Hashtag' belongs to social networks and is a keyword with the # sign. Learners may confuse the words because 'Hashtag' contains the word 'Tag'. In German, however, 'der Tag' is normally about time, while 'der Hashtag' is a tagged topic on the internet.
