nun
most
Dieses Wort benutzt man, wenn man ausdrücken will, dass etwas jetzt oder in diesem Moment passiert.
The German word "nun" is an adverb meaning "now" or "at this moment". It signifies the present time or situation. Unlike prefixes, "nun" stands alone as a complete word.
Similar German words include:
- jetzt (now)
- gerade (just, right now)
- heutzutage (nowadays)
Difference:
"Nun" and "jetzt" are often interchangeable, but "nun" can carry a slightly more formal or literary tone and is also used to mark transitions in conversation ("Nun, ..."). "Gerade" emphasizes immediacy or exact timing ("gerade jetzt" = "just now"). "Heutzutage" refers to the current era or period and is broader than the immediate "nun".
