roh
raw
Etwas, das nicht bearbeitet, gekocht oder verarbeitet ist.
The German word "roh" is an adjective that means "raw" or "uncooked". It can also imply something that is unprocessed or in a natural state. Additionally, "roh" can describe something more abstract, such as "raw" data or "crude" behavior.
Similar words in German include:
- "unbearbeitet" (unfinished or unprocessed)
- "unverarbeitet" (uncooked or unprocessed)
- "grobschlachtig" (crude, but more in the sense of being rough or unrefined)
Differences:
- "Unbearbeitet" refers specifically to something that has not been worked on or processed, but it is broader in usage and not limited to food.
- "Unverarbeitet," akin to “rawn”, typically applies to materials or food products that have not undergone processing.
- "Grobschlächtig" carries a more negative connotation referring to coarse manners or behavior rather than to food or materials.
