Ein Gefühl, das entsteht, wenn man Angst hat, dass etwas Schlimmes passieren könnte oder wenn man sich um jemanden oder etwas kümmert.
The German word "Sorge" is a noun that means "concern," "worry," or "anxiety." It can refer to feelings of unease about something or someone. It can also denote care or consideration for someone, as in the phrase "Fürsorge," which means "care" or "provision."
Similar words in German include "Besorgnis" (concern), "Ängstlichkeit" (anxiety), and "Kummer" (sorrow).
The differences lie in their nuances: while "Sorge" encompasses a broad range of worries or concerns, "Besorgnis" may imply a more serious or specific concern, "Ängstlichkeit" suggests a more nervous emotional state, and "Kummer" relates more closely to grief or sadness.
