indoor vs draußen

outside / outdoors

'draußen' and 'indoor' are opposites because they are about where something is. 'draußen' is used as an adverb when something is not inside a building or room, but outside or outdoors. 'indoor' is used as an adjective for things or activities that take place in an enclosed space. They can be confused because both often appear in contexts like sports, leisure, or events. The grammar is also important: you say 'wir spielen draußen' (we are playing outside), but 'ein Indoor-Spielplatz' (an indoor playground) or 'ein Indoor-Kurs' (an indoor course).
