akribisch
meticulous
So, dass jemand sehr genau, sorgfältig und mit viel Aufmerksamkeit arbeitet.
The German word "akribisch" is an adjective that means "meticulous" or "precise". It stems from the Greek word "akribos," which implies something done with careful accuracy or attention to detail.
Similar words in German include "sorgfältig" (careful), "detailliert" (detailed), and "genau" (exact).
Differences:
- "Sorgfältig" emphasizes being careful and thorough but does not necessarily imply the same level of precision as "akribisch".
- "Detailliert" focuses on the inclusion of many specific pieces of information but may not cover the meticulous or painstaking nature implied by "akribisch".
- "Genau" is a broader term for exactness and can be used in various contexts, sometimes less intensively detailed compared to "akribisch".
