The German word "schriftlich" is an adjective meaning "in writing" or "written." It is derived from the noun "Schrift", which means "writing." The term "schriftlich" is used to describe any communication or document that is conveyed through written text, as opposed to spoken or verbal.
Similar expressions or words include "Textform", meaning "textual form" and "in Schriftform", meaning "in the form of writing." However, the term "schriftlich" is more general and broadly applied to any written communication, making it a fundamental word in contexts where the mode of communication needs to be specified as written.
