The German word "wiederholt" is the past participle (and adjective form) of the verb "wiederholen", which means "to repeat".
- It is made up of "wieder" meaning "again" and "holt" related to the verb "holen" meaning "to fetch" or "to get".
As an adjective or adverb, "wiederholt" means "repeated" or "repeatedly".
Similar words:
- mehrfach (multiple times)
- immer wieder (again and again)
- erneut (again, anew)
Difference:
- "wiederholt" emphasizes that something has been done over and over.
- "erneut" often implies something happening anew or once more, but not necessarily multiple times.
- "mehrfach" stresses the number of repetitions, while "wiederholt" can be more general about repetition.
