Bezieht sich auf etwas, das später kommt oder danach erscheint.

The German word "nachfolgend" is an adjective or adverb meaning "following," "subsequent," or "below" (in text). It is composed of the words:

  • nach: after
  • folgend: following (from the verb folgen - to follow)

Similar words:

  • anschließend (subsequently, afterwards)
  • folgend (following)
  • danach (after that)

Difference:
While "nachfolgend" often refers to something that directly comes after in sequence or text (e.g., "the following chapters"), "anschließend" emphasizes something occurring immediately after an event, and "folgend" can be more general for anything following. "Nachfolgend" is commonly used in written or formal contexts to point forward.
