„Resident“ belongs to the word family of „residieren“ (to reside). This connection helps link the word to a longer or permanent stay.
Die Residenten leben seit vielen Jahren in der Küstenregion.
The residents have lived in the coastal region for many years.
When it means a permanently settled person, „Resident“ frequently appears with location details and administrative topics. Typical collocations include „als Resident in einem Land“ (as a resident of a country), „steuerlicher Resident“ (tax resident), and „ausländischer Resident“ (foreign resident).
Als steuerlicher Resident muss sie ihre Einkünfte in diesem Land angeben.
As a tax resident, she has to declare her income in this country.
The medical meaning belongs to specialized language and frequently appears in contexts involving a clinic, specialist training, or working under supervision. Signal words such as „Oberärztin“ (senior physician), „Station“ (ward), and „Visite“ (rounds) usually indicate this meaning.
Während der Visite besprach der Resident den Befund mit dem Chefarzt.
During rounds, the resident discussed the findings with the chief physician.
