aus

Aus is a term used in several distinct contexts, including language, geography, and standardized codes.

In German, aus functions as a preposition and adverb meaning "out," "from," or "made of." It is used to express origin, material, or direction and appears in many common expressions and in separable-prefix verbs such as ausgehen (to go out) or ausschalten (to switch off).

In international codes and identifiers, AUS is the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code for Australia. The country is commonly abbreviated as AU or Aus in informal use, and the International Olympic Committee uses AUS as the country code for Australia. The internet domain for Australia is .au.

AUS is also the IATA airport code for Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, serving Austin, Texas, United States.

As an English-language abbreviation, Aus can appear in texts as a shorthand for Australia in certain sporting or media contexts, though this usage is less formal than the full name.
