randvoll
full to the brim
The German word "randvoll" is an adjective made up of two parts:
- "Rand" meaning edge or rim
- "voll" meaning full
Together, "randvoll" means completely full or brimming to the edge (e.g., a glass "randvoll" with water).
Similar words:
- "voll" (full)
- "gefüllt" (filled)
- "überfüllt" (overfilled, overcrowded)
Difference:
- "voll" just means full in general without specifying being full to the brim.
- "gefüllt" focuses on the fact that something has been filled but not necessarily full.
- "überfüllt" implies excessive filling or overcrowding, more than just "randvoll".
- "randvoll" specifically emphasizes being filled up to the very edge.
