Es beschreibt etwas, das nicht leer ist, weil etwas darin steckt.
The German word "gefüllt" is an adjective that means "filled" or "stuffed". It is derived from the verb "füllen" which means "to fill". "Gefüllt" is commonly used to describe something that has been filled with a substance, for example, a "gefülltes Brötchen" (a filled roll) or "gefüllte Kissen" (stuffed pillows).
Similar words in German include "voll" (full), "angefüllt" (brimming), and "befüllt" (loaded).
Differences:
- Voll: Implies that something is full or complete in capacity but doesn't necessarily indicate that it has been filled with a specific substance.
- Angefüllt: Suggests that something is filled to the brim, often used in a more figurative sense.
- Befüllt: Specifically indicates that something has been loaded or filled, often used for containers or vessels.
Each term has nuanced usage depending on the context and the extent of 'filling.' "Gefüllt" is more specific about containing a filler substance, which makes it suitable for describing culinary items or objects with contents.
