- Consecutively / In a row: It describes events that happen one after the other without interruption. For example, winning three games "in Folge" means winning three games consecutively.
- As a result of / Due to: It can indicate a causal relationship, meaning something happened because of or as a consequence of something else. This is often used with the genitive case or the preposition "von" (e.g., "in Folge von Krankheit" - due to illness).
