live
Direkt und in diesem Moment gesendet oder gezeigt, ohne Pause oder spätere Bearbeitung.
The German word "live" is an adverb or adjective borrowed directly from English. It means "live" in the sense of something happening in real-time or being broadcast/showcased as it happens (e.g., a live concert or live broadcast).
Similar German words/concepts include:
- direkt (direct, immediate)
- unmittelbar (immediate)
- in Echtzeit (in real time)
Difference:
While "live" specifically emphasizes the aspect of occurring at the moment and often used in media contexts, "direkt" or "unmittelbar" can apply more broadly to immediacy without necessarily implying a broadcast or media event.
