How do you say "decision" in German?

Useful German Word of the Day: “Entscheidung” (f.) - This word means “decision” and, interestingly, in German a decision isn’t “reached” or “made” or “arrived at”, but rather it is “hit” in the sense of hitting a target (“treffen”):

“Ich treffe große Entscheidungen.” - “I make big decisions.”“Haben wir eine Entscheidung getroffen?” - “Have we reached a decision?”“Er hat die Entscheidung getroffen, zu gehen.” - “He’s made the decision to go.”

The verb, incidentally, is “entscheiden” (“to decide”), and is reflexive (“sich”, “mich”, “dich”, etc.) when you’re talking about making up your own mind:

“Ich habe mich entschieden.” - “I’ve decided.”“Hast du dich schon entschieden?” - “Have you decided yet?”
