König

Definition: A “König” is a title given to the ruler or head of a monarchy. They are typically considered the highest-ranking member of the nobility and hold supreme authority over a kingdom or empire.

Opposite: The opposite of a “König” would be a “Bürger” (citizen), as they hold no hereditary or political power within the monarchy.

Synonyms: “Herrscher” (ruler), “Monarch” (monarch), “Regent” (regent), and “Fürst” (prince) can all be used as synonyms for a “König.”

Examples:

• Ludwig XIV war ein bekannter König von Frankreich. (Louis XIV was a well-known king of France.)
• Elisabeth II ist die am längsten regierende Königin in der Geschichte des Vereinigten Königreichs. (Elizabeth II is the longest-reigning queen in the history of the United Kingdom.)
• Die Könige des alten Ägyptens wurden als “Pharaonen” bezeichnet. (The kings of Ancient Egypt were referred to as “pharaohs.”)\ Visit YouGlish.com
