Vocab:
die Arbeit, arbeiten, erben, das Erbe, Roboter
I don’t understand the second meaning or what “sich etwas erarbeiten” might mean for a reputation or mansion. Is there a connection to the first meaning somehow?
Ultimately, they’re the same thing. You get something through the process of working. But the feel of the two is very different.
– Im Meeting erarbeiten wir einen Plan. (first meaning)
– Der Star hat sich seinen Status hart erarbeitet. (second meaning)
Does that help?
