Beschreibt ein Gefühl oder eine Empfindung, die sehr stark und im Innersten empfunden wird.
The German word "zutiefst" is an adverb meaning "deeply" or "profoundly." It is composed of "zu" (to) and "tief" (deep). "Zutiefst" is often used to express a strong intensity of emotion or conviction, as in "zutiefst betroffen" (deeply affected).
Similar words in German include "äußerst" (extremely), "ganz" (completely), and "sehr" (very). The difference is that "zutiefst" specifically conveys a deeper emotional resonance, while the other terms denote degrees of intensity that may apply to various contexts without the profound connotation.
