ausgezeichnet
excellent
Es beschreibt etwas sehr Gutes, das hohe Qualität hat oder großen Eindruck macht.
The German word "ausgezeichnet" is an adjective and adverb meaning "excellent", "outstanding", or "distinguished". It comes from the verb "zeichnen" (to draw, to mark) combined with the prefix "aus" (out/off), implying something that is distinctly marked or highlighted.
Similar words:
- hervorragend (outstanding)
- exzellent (excellent)
- erstklassig (first-class)
- vorzüglich (superb)
Difference:
"Ausgezeichnet" often implies a formal acknowledgment or distinction, not just high quality, whereas "hervorragend" and "exzellent" focus more on the level of quality or performance.
