What does “eindringlich” mean in German?
In the clip, the narrator describes how Max Müller talks about his visits with his 87-year-old mother — using the word “eindringlich.” It means more than just “moving” or “impressive”: it says the words land with real force and are hard to forget. Use it for a speech, a memory, or a scene that leaves a deep, lasting mark on you — not just a pleasant one.
Spoken line: “Besonders eindringlich schildert Max Müller, wie sich die Begegnungen mit seiner Mutter verändert haben.” — “Especially vividly, Max Müller describes how the meetings with his mother have changed.” More examples: - “Sie hat eindringlich vor den Risiken gewarnt.” — “She warned about the risks in a strong, urgent way.” - “Der Film zeigt eindringlich, was Krieg bedeutet.” — “The film shows powerfully what war means.” - “Eine eindringliche Bitte.” — “An urgent, heartfelt request.” Usage notes: “Eindringlich” often goes with verbs of telling, warning, or asking (schildern, warnen, bitten). It can mean “vivid and deeply felt” or “urgent and insistent,” depending on the line. The “ein-” at the start is not a separable prefix — it is fused into the word, so treat “eindringlich” as a single unit.
