fällig
due
Etwas muss zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt bezahlt oder erledigt werden.
The German word "fällig" is an adjective that means "due" or "payable." It is commonly used in financial or scheduling contexts to describe something that is scheduled to be paid or completed by a specific date. The word "fällig" implies an obligation or expectation that has reached its designated time for action.
Similar German words include "überfällig" (overdue) and "zahlbar" (payable).
The difference between "fällig" and "überfällig" is notable: while "fällig" indicates that the due date for payment or action is now, "überfällig" suggests that the due date has already passed, implying a delay or a lapse beyond the scheduled time.
