This one confused me. Definitely a false friend with “time-wise”. Could you use this for something within a relatively small period of time? Like say there is a faulty electric connection and keeps coming on or off every 5 minutes
Hah, never noticed this but yes, it’s a false friend indeed.
Not really a good fit for short intermittent intervals though. To me “zeitweise” sounds a bit “smoother”.
