rechtlich
legal
Etwas bezieht sich auf Gesetze oder Regeln, die vom Staat festgelegt wurden.
The German word "rechtlich" is an adjective that means "legal" or "juridical". It is derived from "Recht," which means "law" or "justice". "Rechtlich" is used to describe matters that pertain to the law or legal status. Similar words in German include "gesetzlich" (statutory) and "juristisch" (juristically).
The main difference is that "gesetzlich" refers specifically to laws or statutes created by legislation, while "juristisch" often relates to legal practice or theories, whereas "rechtlich" encompasses both and focuses more broadly on legality.
