adverb

öfters

often

mehrmals oder an vielen Tagen, also nicht nur einmal, sondern wieder und wieder

The German word "öfters" is an adverb that means "more often" or "frequently". It is derived from the word "oft," which means "often."

Similar expressions in German include "häufig" (frequent) and "einige Male" (several times).

The difference is that "öfters" specifically implies a recurring action that is common but not necessarily as frequent as "häufig," which denotes a more regular occurrence. "Einige Male" suggests a limited number of occurrences rather than frequency.
