splash
The sound or visual effect created when something hits a liquid; a splash or splatter. Often used in comics or to describe visual effects.
Mit einem lauten Splash fiel der Stein ins Wasser.
With a loud splash, the stone fell into the water.
splash page
In comics, a full-page drawing, often used for especially dramatic or impressive scenes.
Der Zeichner hat die Enthüllung des Bösewichts mit einem beeindruckenden Splash in Szene gesetzt.
The artist staged the villain's reveal with an impressive splash page.
'Splash' is a loanword from English and is pronounced the same way. It is mainly used in colloquial language, youth slang, or in specific contexts such as comics.
Als die Welle gegen die Felsen schlug, gab es einen riesigen Splash.
When the wave hit the rocks, there was a huge splash.
The meaning can be easily inferred from the context. If it is about water or a liquid, the sound, 'Platschen' (splashing), is meant. In a conversation about comics or graphic design, it refers to the full-page drawing.
Das Kind sprang mit einem lauten Splash in die Pfütze.
The child jumped into the puddle with a loud splash.
In comic jargon, the word is almost always used in the fixed expression 'die Splash-Page' (the splash page) to refer to a full-page illustration.
Der Held wird auf einer beeindruckenden Splash-Page vorgestellt.
The hero is introduced on an impressive splash page.
splash / spritzer
Spritzer and Splash can both describe the visible effect when something hits water. A Spritzer refers more to the small amount of liquid that is thrown up or out; a Splash emphasizes the entire visible or audible impact effect. Use „Spritzer“ for individual drops and „Splash“ for the scene as a whole.
Beim Sprung ins Wasser erzeugte der Schauspieler für den Film einen großen Splash.
When he jumped into the water, the actor created a big splash for the film.
Beim Sprung ins Wasser traf ein Spritzer die Zuschauer in der ersten Reihe.
When he jumped into the water, a splash hit the spectators in the front row.
