mittelfristig
medium-term
Nicht sofort, aber auch nicht erst nach sehr langer Zeit, sondern etwa in einigen Monaten oder Jahren.
The German word "mittelfristig" is an adjective that means "medium-term" or "in the medium run." It is composed of "mittel," meaning "middle," and "fristig," relating to time or deadlines. "Mittelfristig" indicates a time frame that is not immediate but also not long-term, typically spanning several months to a few years.
Similar terms in German include "kurzfristig" (short-term) and "langfristig" (long-term). The key differences are:
- Kurzfristig focuses on immediate or near-future actions or impacts, generally within a few weeks or months.
- Mittelfristig strikes a balance, positioning itself between the immediate needs outlined by "kurzfristig" and the prolonged schedule associated with "langfristig," which refers to plans or consequences over several years.
