In grammar, the predicate is the core of the sentence and describes what the subject does or what happens to it. It always contains the conjugated verb, which stands in position 2 in a German main clause.

As a quality rating, 'Prädikat' (rating/designation) is often combined with verbs such as 'erhalten' (to receive), 'tragen' (to carry/bear), or 'verleihen' (to award). The formulation 'mit dem Prädikat ...' (with the designation/rating ...) is also typical.
Der Film wurde mit dem Prädikat „besonders wertvoll“ ausgezeichnet.
The film was awarded the rating 'especially valuable'.
verb
The verb is a part of speech, while the predicate is a function in the sentence. A predicate contains the conjugated verb, but it can also consist of several verb parts. Therefore, Verb is the right term for the type of an individual word, while Prädikat refers to the verbal part of the sentence.
Im Satz „Mia steht früh auf“ bilden „steht“ und „auf“ zusammen das Prädikat.
In the sentence “Mia steht früh auf,” “steht” and “auf” together form the predicate.
Im Satz „Mia steht früh auf“ ist „steht“ das konjugierte Verb.
