während synonyms
What's the difference between während, im Laufe von, bei, seit, nach, vor, and inmitten
Means “over the course of”; it emphasizes a process that unfolds over time.
A very general word: it can mean “at, with, during,” but in a time sense it depends strongly on context.
Means “since”; it marks the starting point in the past and the continuation up to now, not just a period of time.
Means “after”; it refers to time that comes later, not to something happening at the same time.
Means “before”; it shows an earlier time than a certain point, not duration during that period.
Advanced: broader words
Means “amid/in the middle of”; it is more about being surrounded by something than about time.
