Jemand ist körperlich da und nimmt teil, er fehlt also nicht.

The German word "anwesend" is an adjective that means "present" or "in attendance". It is derived from the prefix "an" (which can imply presence or proximity) and "wesend," which relates to being or existing.

Similar words in German include "gegenwärtig" (current or present), "da" (there or present), and "anwesend sein" (to be present).

Differences:

Gegenwärtig: Often connotes being current or relevant in time, beyond just physical presence.
Da: More informal and typically used in conversational contexts rather than formal settings.
Anwesend sein: A phrase that directly translates as "to be present", typically used in formal or official contexts, such as meetings or events.

While all these terms indicate presence, context and formality can dictate the most appropriate choice.
