Hello everyone,

and welcome to our German Word of the Day.  This time we’ll take a look at the meaning of

mäßig

 

It’s only moderately interesting when you look it up in a dictionary but it’s an absolute beast when it comes to colloquial German.
Like… it’s really common there is what I mean, because you can use it to build all kinds of adjectives that sounds super idiomatic.

Today, we’ll learn how to do it, but not only that. We’ll also learn about where mäßig comes from and what other words there are in the family.

So if you’re ready, let’s jump right in.
