Bislangige

Bislangige is a German adverb that translates to "hitherto," "until now," or "so far" in English. It is used to indicate that a situation, state, or action has been true or has occurred up to the present moment. The word is formed by combining "bislang" (until now) with the adjectival suffix "-ige" (which often indicates "of" or "related to").

The adverb "bislangige" typically modifies a verb or an adjective, providing context about the time frame of its application. For example, one might say "die bislangige Entwicklung" (the hitherto development) or "das bislangige Ergebnis" (the so far result). It emphasizes that the described situation is the current one, but it leaves open the possibility of future change.

In essence, "bislangige" serves to establish a point of reference in time, marking the boundary between the past and the present. It is a common term in formal and informal German, used across various contexts from news reporting to everyday conversation. Its usage implies continuity from a past state to the current one.
