Durchlaufend

Durchlaufend is a German word that translates to "continuous," "ongoing," "perpetual," or "consecutive" in English. It is used to describe something that proceeds without interruption or pause. The term can be applied to various contexts, including processes, events, or states.

In the context of processes, "durchlaufend" suggests a steady and uninterrupted operation. For example, a "durchlaufendes Band" would be a conveyor belt that is constantly moving. In a temporal sense, it can indicate a duration that extends over a period without breaks, such as "durchlaufende Arbeiten" meaning ongoing work.

When referring to events or actions, "durchlaufend" implies a sequence that happens one after another without any gaps. This could be seen in "durchlaufende Nummern" which are consecutive numbers. Similarly, it can describe a state that persists, like a "durchlaufende Stromversorgung" indicating a constant power supply. The essence of "durchlaufend" is the absence of cessation or interruption, emphasizing a continuous flow or progression.
