Eine klare Entscheidung oder Regel, die festlegt, was getan werden soll oder wie etwas abläuft.
The German word "Festlegung" is a noun that means "determination," "establishment," or "specification". It is derived from the verb "festlegen," which means "to determine" or "to fix". "Festlegung" is often used in contexts where decisions, rules, or conditions are being formally established or defined.
Similar words in German include:
- Bestimmung (definition or determination)
- Feststellung (finding or determination)
- Niederlegung (laying down, especially of rules or agreements)
Difference:
- Bestimmung often connotes a broader sense of definition, whereas Festlegung emphasizes the act of fixing or establishing something formally.
- Feststellung is more about the act of stating or finding something out, rather than establishing it.
- Niederlegung typically relates more to formally laying down laws or rules as opposed to simply determining them.
