Could someone explain what does such a hospitalisation entails? I cannot find a definition.
Thank you

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion

Helen Shiner Mar 19, 2019:
Surprised that anyone would consider this a non-PRO question. One would have to have some good knowledge of German to know this, and I don't think it is very guessable.
Wendy Streitparth Mar 9, 2019:
Could we perhaps have the sentence where this phrase occurs to ensure that we are proposing the right phrase? Thank you.
Sarah Lewis-Morgan Mar 8, 2019:
Asker To me this is a non-pro question. The two types of hospital treatment are "stationär" (in-patient) and "ambulant" (out-patient). The addition of "Aufenhalt" is not even strictly necessary, as an in-patient by definition stays in the hospital.

Thanks, Steffen. A couple of PhDs and a random visitor have decided that this is a term that "can be answered by any bilingual person without the aid of a dictionary". // Thanks.

agree Björn Vrooman : Maybe a doctor isn't the best person to vote this non-PRO. Quite frankly, I wouldn't have remembered this; I'm not fond of hospitals. It's neither a literal nor an obscure suggestion, so I'm going to change it back.

Thanks. I wonder what they were thinking of?

agree Wendy Streitparth : This is certainly what is 'entailed' but it depends on the context.

hospital stay

Without the actual sentence, it is not possible to select the most suitable term, so here is an alternative.

Further thoughts on the phrase:

'was admitted to hospital' is a very common expression, either on its own or followed by 'for observation/for further investigation/for treatment.

agree Lancashireman : Also good :-)
