A small, flat disk made of metal or plastic with an inscription or symbol, used as proof, identification, or an award.
Mein Auto hat die Hauptuntersuchung bestanden und eine neue TÜV-Plakette bekommen.
My car passed the vehicle inspection and got a new TÜV sticker.
In everyday German life, 'Plakette' (sticker/badge) is especially important in connection with cars. The 'TÜV-Plakette' (TÜV sticker) on the license plate shows when the next vehicle inspection is due.
Ohne gültige Plakette darf man das Auto nicht fahren.
You are not allowed to drive the car without a valid sticker.
Common types of 'Plaketten' are the 'TÜV-Plakette' (TÜV sticker) and the 'Umweltplakette' (emissions sticker) for cars. Verbs often used with 'Plakette' are 'bekommen' (to get), 'erhalten' (to receive), 'anbringen' (to attach), or 'aufkleben' (to stick on).
Für die Einfahrt in die Innenstadt braucht man eine grüne Umweltplakette.
To drive into the city center, you need a green emissions sticker.
A 'Plakette' (sticker/badge) is more than just a sticker. It serves as official proof or certification. It confirms that an inspection has been passed or that an authorization exists.
Diese Plakette bestätigt, dass das Gerät geprüft und sicher ist.
This badge confirms that the device has been inspected and is safe.
brand / mark / stamp
'die Marke' and 'die Plakette' can both be small objects that show something or stand for something. Here, 'die Marke' is more like a small object that you use like a coin, for example as a deposit token or as a substitute for money. 'die Plakette' is more like a small flat plate or badge with an inscription or symbol. It is often used as proof, identification, or an award. The words can be confused because both can be small and often round. A practical tip: you often use a Marke to get something or pay for something; a Plakette usually shows information or permission.
Nach der Prüfung klebt die Werkstatt eine neue Plakette auf das Auto.
After the inspection, the workshop puts a new sticker on the car.
