adjective

rasend

racing

Sehr wütend und kaum noch ruhig.

The German word "rasend" is an adjective that translates to "raging" or "furious". It is derived from the verb "rasen", which means "to rage" or "to rush". "Rasend" can be used to describe something that is extremely fast or done with great intensity, often in a frantic or wild manner. Similar words in German include "schnell" (fast), "heftig" (intense), and "wütend" (angry).

The distinction lies in the nuance: while "rasend" specifically conveys a sense of uncontrollable speed or intensity, "schnell" simply refers to speed, and "heftig" emphasizes intensity without the motion connotation.
