minimal
Etwas, das sehr klein oder auf das Nötigste reduziert ist.
The German word "minimal" is an adjective that means "minimal" or "least possible". It is derived from the Latin word "minimus," which means "the smallest". In a range of contexts, "minimal" refers to something that is reduced to the smallest amount or degree. Similar words in German include "gering" (low or minor) and "reduziert" (reduced).
While "minimal" conveys the idea of the smallest acceptable or necessary portion, "gering" might imply a lesser quality or quantity without necessarily indicating the lowest extreme, and "reduziert" focuses on the act of reduction rather than the state of being minimal.
