A long time ago I came across stets somewhere which seemed to mean something like always-anytime.
This morning I found stetig on your site. Is stetig the ‘proper’ word and stets either false or umgangssprache?
If stets is some sort of proper word have I got the right defintion for it?
thanks.
They’re two separate words and they don’t share the same meaning.
“stets” is basically a fancy alternative for “immer”, while “stetig” is about “no interruption or jumps”. There’s an element of “immer” in there but the core is “steady continuation”.
Hope that helps.
