gedulden
have patience
The German word "gedulden" is a verb that means "to endure" or "to be patient". It is derived from "dulden," which means "to tolerate" or "to allow." "Gedulden" connotes the act of waiting patiently for something to happen without becoming upset.
Similar words in German include "ertragen" (to bear or to tolerate), "aushalten" (to stand or to withstand), and "warten" (to wait).
The difference among these words lies in their nuances; "ertragen" often emphasizes the ability to bear hardship, "aushalten" conveys a sense of persistence, while "warten" is a more neutral waiting term without the connotations of endurance or patience.
