out
Expresses movement from an inside place to the outside, away from the speaker's point of view. It is often combined with verbs of movement.
Er ging aus dem Haus hinaus in den Garten.
He went out of the house into the garden.
The word consists of 'hin' and 'aus'. The prefix 'hin-' describes movement away from the speaker. So 'hinaus' means “out, away from here.”
Bitte geh schon mal hinaus, ich komme gleich nach.
Please go on out; I'll follow in a moment.
'Hinaus' is often the separable prefix of verbs such as 'hinausgehen' (to go out) or 'hinausschauen' (to look out). In a main clause, the prefix stands at the end.
Sie ging aus der Tür hinaus.
She went out through the door.
The fixed expression 'darüber hinaus' (in addition/furthermore) functions like an adverb that connects sentences. When it comes at the beginning of a sentence, the verb follows immediately (inversion).
Die Wohnung ist sehr schön. Darüber hinaus ist die Miete ziemlich günstig.
The apartment is very beautiful. In addition, the rent is quite affordable.
The structure 'über + accusative + hinaus' is used to express exceeding a limit or expectation. This can refer to time, space, or abstract things.
Sein Engagement geht weit über seine Pflichten hinaus.
His commitment goes far beyond his duties.
The combination 'hinaus auf + accusative' describes movement or a view from an enclosed place onto an open area such as a street, a square, or the sea.
Wir traten aus dem Hotel hinaus auf den sonnigen Marktplatz.
We stepped out of the hotel onto the sunny market square.
from / out
'aus' and 'hinaus' can both describe movement from inside to outside. 'aus' is a preposition and names the place you are leaving: 'aus dem Zimmer' (out of the room), 'aus dem Zug' (out of the train), 'aus der Tasche' (out of the bag). 'hinaus' is an adverb and describes the direction outward, usually away from the speaker or from the inside place. It sounds a bit more precise and often also a bit more formal than 'raus'. The words are easy to confuse because the movement is similar. Pay attention: 'aus' usually needs a noun, while 'hinaus' tends to go with the verb of movement.
Nach der langen Fahrt sind alle schnell aus dem Zug hinausgegangen.
After the long journey, everyone quickly got out of the train.
Bitte nehmt die Bücher aus der Tasche.
