So, dass etwas leicht seine Lage oder Form ändern kann oder nicht fest an einem Ort bleibt.
The German word "beweglich" is an adjective that means "flexible" or "mobile". It is derived from the verb "bewegen," which means "to move." "Beweglich" can describe physical motion, as well as metaphorical flexibility, such as adaptability in attitudes or ideas.
Similar words in German include "mobil" (mobile), "anpassungsfähig" (adaptable), and "fexibel" (flexible).
The differentiation lies primarily in nuance:
- "Mobil" focuses on the capability of movement from one place to another,
- "flexibel" emphasizes the ability to adjust or change in various situations, while
- "beweglich" combines these ideas but can be more commonly associated with physical movement.
