vorig

The German word "vorig" is an adjective that means "previous" or "former". It is related to the time before the current one, often used to refer to something that happened or existed just before now (e.g., "die vorige Woche" = "the previous week").

• Core meaning: Refers to something earlier in time.
• No prefixes are part of this word.

Similar words:

• früher (earlier)
• ehemalig (former)
• alt (old)

Differences:

• Vorig often focuses on the immediate predecessor (e.g., last week), whereas früher can refer to any earlier time.
• Ehemalig is more about something that used to have a certain status or role in the past, not necessarily immediately prior.
• Alt generally relates to age rather than time sequence.
