multiple · repeatedly
Etwas, das mehr als einmal passiert oder vorhanden ist.
The German word "mehrfach" is an adjective that means "multiple" or "several". It is a combination of "mehr" which means "more" and "fach" which translates to "fold" or contextually as "times". "Mehrfach" generally describes something occurring numerous times or existing in numerous instances.
Words with a similar meaning include "vielfach" (manifold, numerous), "vielmalig" (many times), and "verschiedenfach" (variously), though these variants might emphasize the quality or extent to varying degrees. "Vielfach" especially can imply complexity or variety, while "mehrfach" usually focuses more on the quantitative aspect of multiplicity.
