The German word "durchgehend" is an adjective or adverb meaning "continuous", "non-stop", or "throughout". It is made up of:
- durch: meaning "through"
- gehend: the present participle of "gehen" meaning "going"
Together, it conveys the idea of something going through without interruption.
Similar words in German include:
- ununterbrochen (uninterrupted)
- dauernd (constant, lasting)
- kontinuierlich (continuous)
Differences:
- durchgehend emphasizes continuity without breaks as a process or time span.
- ununterbrochen strictly means "without any interruption" and can be more formal.
- dauernd often implies something lasting for a long time, sometimes with a negative nuance.
- kontinuierlich usually refers to steady, ongoing progress or development.
