Goethe B1 Noun

  2. the salary, the pay
1.

the diet

(Pretty much only in the sense of the diet you 'do' to lose weight, not for the general 'type of nutrition' - that would be die Ernaehrung.)

2.

the salary, the pay

(For members of parliament, the salary is called Diät. Seems ironic because it's not small, but the origin is a Latin term that was about pay per day or something like that. You'll see this Diät in the news when they raise it.)
