Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.Bald is a commonly used word in the German language, and it can be used in a variety of contexts. For example, if someone asks when a package will arrive, you could respond with 'bald', indicating that it will arrive soon. Similarly, if you are making plans with friends and need to leave soon, you could say 'ich muss bald gehen' (I have to go soon).
It's important to note that bald doesn't necessarily mean immediately. It simply means that something will happen in the near future. The exact timeframe can vary depending on the context. For instance, if someone says they'll call you back bald, it could mean within the next few hours or by the end of the day.
In some cases, bald can also be used to express impatience or frustration. If someone is taking too long to do something, you might say 'wir warten schon so lange, wann geht es denn endlich los?' (we've been waiting for so long, when are we finally going?). In this case, bald would be translated as 'finally'.
