offensichtlich

nyilvánvaló

Etwas, das klar erkennbar oder leicht zu verstehen ist.

The German word "offensichtlich" is an adjective and adverb meaning "obvious" or "evident". It is derived from the noun "Offen" ("open") and the adjective suffix "-sichtlich" (related to "sicht" meaning "sight" or "view"). So, it literally relates to something that is clearly visible or openly apparent.

Similar words:

  • klar (clear)
  • deutlich (distinct)
  • eindeutig (unequivocal)

Differences:

  • offensichtlich emphasizes something being clearly visible or apparent, often based on evidence or observation.
  • klar and deutlich stress clarity or clearness in communication or perception.
  • eindeutig emphasizes unambiguity or lack of doubt, sometimes stronger than offensichtlich.
