unwiderstehlich
irresistible
So gut oder stark, dass man kaum Nein sagen oder sich davon fernhalten kann.
The German word "unwiderstehlich" is an adjective meaning "irresistible."
- Made of:
- widerstehen = to resist
- The prefix un- negates the word
So, "unwiderstehlich" literally means "not able to be resisted."
Similar words:
- verlockend (enticing)
- attraktiv (attractive)
- unentbehrlich (indispensable, though with a slightly different nuance)
Difference:
While "unwiderstehlich" emphasizes something that cannot be resisted or refused, "verlockend" suggests something tempting but possible to resist, and "attraktiv" focuses more on general attractiveness without implying irresistible force.
