The German word "exklusiv" has several meanings such as exclusive, sole, or restricted.
ausschließlich
- "Ausschließlich" emphasizes the idea of being the only one or the sole option. For example, "Dieser Wagen ist ausschließlich für Mitglieder verfügbar." (This car is available only for members.) Similar to "exklusiv", "ausschließlich" focuses on the exclusivity and limitation to a particular group or condition.
restriktiv
- "Restriktiv" means restrictive. When we say, "Die exklusiven Regeln sind restriktiv." (The exclusive rules are restrictive), it shows that like "exklusiv", "restriktiv" implies that something is limited or controlled in a way that not everyone can have access or be involved.
eigen
- "Eigen" can mean own or exclusive in the sense of something belonging only to a particular entity. For example, "Das exklusive Recht ist das Eigen des Unternehmens." (The exclusive right belongs to the company.) It's similar to "exklusiv" as it highlights the ownership or exclusive association with a specific subject.
