fortfahren
continue
Es bedeutet, mit etwas weiterzumachen, das man bereits begonnen hat, ohne zu stoppen.
The German word "fortfahren" is a verb that means "to continue" or "to proceed". It is made up of the prefix "fort" (which can mean "away" or "forward") and the verb "fahren," which means "to drive" or "to go." "Fortfahren" is often used in formal contexts to indicate the continuation of an action or discussion.
Similar words in German include "weiterfahren" (to keep going), "weitersehen" (to keep looking), and "fortsetzen" (to continue, particularly in the sense of resuming).
The difference between "fortfahren" and "fortsetzen" is subtle; while both imply a continuation, "fortfahren" tends to emphasize movement or progression, whereas "fortsetzen" focuses more on the act of completing or resuming a specific task or discussion.
