weich
soft
Etwas, das sich leicht eindrücken oder biegen lässt und keinen harten Widerstand bietet.
The German word "weich" is an adjective that means "soft" or "gentle". It refers to the texture or consistency of an object being easily deformable, not hard, and lacking rigidity. Similar words in German include "sanft" (gentle) and "zart" (delicate).
"Weich" can be used in various contexts to describe materials (like a soft pillow), food consistency (like soft bread), or even conditions (such as soft lighting). Unlike "sanft" which is more commonly used to describe actions or qualities involving touch or demeanor being gentle or mild, "weich" is specifically about the physical characteristic of gentleness or softness in objects or materials.
