vorbildlich
exemplary
Etwas oder jemand zeigt ein Verhalten, das andere nachmachen sollten, weil es sehr gut oder richtig ist.
The German word "vorbildlich" is an adjective that means "exemplary" or "model". It is derived directly from the noun "Vorbild", which is a combination of "vor" meaning "before" and "Bild" meaning "image" or "model". Therefore, "vorbildlich" refers to something that serves as a good or outstanding example to follow.
Similar words in German include "beispielhaft" (exemplary), "mustergültig" (model-like), and "ideal" (ideal). These synonyms share a focus on expressing admiration for qualities that are worth imitating, though there might be subtle nuances in usage depending on what attribute or set of behaviours is being highlighted. For example, "beispielhaft" might suggest following a specific, well-defined example, while "vorbildlich" connotes a general standard of excellence.
