Wirkliches

Wirkliches is a German adjective derived from the noun Wirklichkeit, meaning reality or actuality. As an adjective, wirkliches translates to "real," "actual," "effective," or "true." It is used to describe something that exists in fact, as opposed to something imagined, potential, or hypothetical. For example, one might speak of ein wirkliches Problem (a real problem) or die wirkliche Bedeutung (the true meaning). The word emphasizes the tangible or factual nature of the subject it modifies. In philosophical contexts, it can be contrasted with concepts like Schein (appearance) or Möglichkeit (possibility). The adjective form helps to distinguish between what is merely perceived or considered and what demonstrably exists or has occurred. Its usage is widespread in everyday German and also appears in more formal or academic discourse to convey a sense of genuine existence or concrete manifestation. It is a fundamental term for describing the state of affairs as they truly are.
