So does vorubergehen has the same meaning as vorbeigehen ? I understand the “vorbei” very clearly now thanks to your article. But what about voruber ? is it the same ? Again I can’t describe the importance of this website. It’s a gem. I will subscribe as soon as I start working that’s for sure. I really wish you keep it going. Thank you
“vorübergehen” and “vorbeigehen” are indeed pretty synonymous in the sense of “passing”. Both for walking by an actual place as well as for a phase “going by”. “vorübergehen” sounds more high register and “vorbei” is just easier to say, so it’s way more common.
