Etwas hat wenig Abstand zwischen zwei Seiten oder ist schmal.
The German word "dünn" is an adjective that means "thin" or "slim." It is used to describe objects or substances that have small thickness or are slender in appearance. "Dünn" can also refer to liquids that are watery or not dense. Similar words in German include "schlank" (slim, typically referencing body shape), "schmal" (narrow), and "fein" (fine, thin, delicate). While all these terms convey thinness, "schlank" is more often specifically related to body shape, "schmal" enumerates narrowness, and "fein" implies greater delicacy or minuteness.
