glühend
glowing
The German word "glühend" is an adjective that translates to "glowing" or "burning". It describes something that emits light and heat, usually due to being heated to a high temperature. The word is derived from the verb "glühen," which means "to glow" or "to ember."
Similar words in German include "leuchtend" (radiant) and "brennend" (burning).
The key difference is that while "leuchtend" focuses more on the aspect of emitting light (without necessarily being hot), and "brennend" emphasizes an active combustion or burning process, "glühend" specifically conveys a sense of intense heat along with light, often associated with something like a glowing coal or metal.
