daherkommen
come along
sich auf eine bestimmte Art zeigen oder wirken; auch: aus einer Richtung kommen
The German verb "daherkommen" literally breaks down into:
- daher: "from there" or "therefore"
- kommen: "to come"
Meaning:
It means "to come along" or "to appear" in a certain manner or with a certain attitude.
Similar words:
- auftauchen (to appear)
- erscheinen (to appear, to show up)
- herantreten (to approach)
Difference:
Unlike "auftauchen" or "erscheinen", which mostly emphasize simple showing up, "daherkommen" often carries an implication of how someone comes across—referring to demeanor or impression.
