verb

weitergehen

continue · go on · move on

Es bedeutet, dass etwas nicht endet und fortläuft.

The German word "weitergehen" is a verb that means "to go on" or "to continue". It is made up of the prefix "weiter", meaning "further" or "more", and the verb "gehen", which means "to go". "Weitergehen" often conveys the idea of continuing a process or moving forward after a pause or interruption. Similar words include "fortfahren" (to continue), "weiterführen" (to carry on), and "fortsetzen" (to resume).

The main distinction is that "weitergehen" carries a nuance of physical movement in addition to ongoing action, while the others can focus more on abstract continuations irrespective of physical context.
