The German word "verbindlich" is an adjective that means "binding" or "obligatory". It can also mean "committed" or "obliging" depending on the context. It is derived from the verb "verbinden" meaning "to connect" or "to bind". As an adjective, it often emphasizes the obligation or commitment involved in an agreement or promise.
Similar words in German include "obligatorisch" (obligatory) and "verpflichtend" (mandatory). "Obligatorisch" has a stronger connotation of something being required by rules or laws, whereas "verpflichtend" implies a formal or official duty. In contrast, "verbindlich" can also include a sense of a personal commitment to fulfill a promise outside formal obligations.
