unforgettable
The German word "unvergesslich" is an adjective meaning "unforgettable".
- It is composed of "vergesslich", derived from the verb "vergessen" (to forget), meaning "forgetful" or relating to forgetting.
- The prefix "un-" negates the meaning, so "unvergesslich" means not able to be forgotten.

- "denkwürdig" (memorable)
- "einprägsam" (impressive, memorable)
