Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.The word lang is commonly used to describe something that has an extended length, such as a long road or a long book. It can also refer to a duration of time, such as a long day at work or a long vacation. In both cases, the word conveys the idea of something that is stretched out or prolonged.
In addition to its literal meaning, lang can also be used figuratively to describe something that seems to take a long time or feels drawn out. For example, someone might say they had a lang week at work if it felt like it dragged on forever. Similarly, a movie or book that seems to go on and on without end could be described as lang.
It's worth noting that lang is often used in combination with other words to create compound adjectives. For instance, langsam means slow or slowly, while langweilig means boring or tedious. These compound adjectives can help convey more specific meanings and nuances.
