freilich
of course · certainly
Es bedeutet so viel wie ‚natürlich‘ oder ‚gewiss‘ und wird genutzt, um Zustimmung oder Selbstverständliches zu betonen.
The German word "freilich" is an adverb that means "certainly," "indeed," or "of course." It expresses affirmation and can be used to emphasize agreement or to acknowledge a situation.
Similar expressions in German include "selbstverständlich" (self-evidently) and "natürlich" (naturally).
While all these terms convey agreement or acknowledgment, "freilich" often carries a connotation that implies a sense of understanding or accepting something that is obvious or expected, while "natürlich" can carry a friendlier or more casual tone, and "selbstverständlich" has a more formal or straightforward implication.
