What does “eine Auszeit nehmen” mean in German?

eine Auszeit nehmen
German work-life phrase
to take a time-out — from sports courts to beach breaks

“Ich hab mir überlegt … dass wir eine kleine Auszeit nehmen” — a surprise beach break as the reward for hard work. Eine Auszeit is literally an “out-time”: the word began as the sports time-out a coach calls, then jumped into everyday German for any deliberate break — a long weekend, a digital detox, a full sabbatical.

The verb is nehmen: sich eine Auszeit nehmen — vom Job, vom Alltag, von Social Media. The phrase frames rest as something you actively claim, not something that happens to you. In the clip the reward comes fully equipped: ein schönes Häuschen — a little rented beach house, softened by the affectionate -chen ending.
