Voordurend

Voordurend is a Dutch term that translates to "preceding" or "prior" in English. It is an adjective used to describe something that comes before another thing in time, order, or sequence. The term is derived from the Dutch verb "voorduren," which means "to precede" or "to go before." Voordurend can be used in various contexts, such as describing a voordurend event, a voordurend condition, or a voordurend action. For example, "De voordurende gebeurtenis was een aardbeving" translates to "The preceding event was an earthquake." The term is commonly used in formal and technical contexts, such as in legal documents, scientific research, and historical accounts. Voordurend is often contrasted with "volgend," which means "following" or "next." The use of voordurend helps to establish a clear temporal or logical sequence in written and spoken communication.
