dünn

The German word "dünn" is an adjective meaning "thin", "slim", or "lean". It describes something of small thickness, narrow width, or low density.

• Dünn refers to physical thinness (e.g., a thin sheet of paper) or sometimes to slightness in quantity or intensity (e.g., a thin broth).

Similar words include:

• schlank (slim, usually about body shape)
• mager (lean, often about people or animals, implying less fat)
• fein (fine, delicate, often regarding particles or texture)

Differences:

• "Dünn" is primarily about thickness or density.
• "Schlank" refers to a slim build or shape, not thickness of an object.
• "Mager" often implies thinness with lack of fat or nutritional deficit.
• "Fein" emphasizes fineness or delicacy rather than thickness.
