alljährlich

Alljährlich is a German adverb that translates to "annually" or "yearly" in English. It signifies an event, occurrence, or action that takes place once every year. The word is derived from "Jahr," meaning "year," and the prefix "all-," indicating entirety or completeness.

This adverb is commonly used in various contexts to describe recurring events. For example, a festival might be described as alljährlich if it occurs every year. Similarly, a company's annual general meeting or a recurring subscription renewal could be referred to as alljährlich. In natural phenomena, certain migrations or blooming periods might also be characterized as alljährlich.

The use of alljährlich implies a regular, predictable cycle. It distinguishes these events from those that happen more frequently, such as daily or monthly occurrences, or those that are sporadic and unpredictable. The adverb emphasizes the consistent annual recurrence, highlighting its established presence within a yearly calendar. It is a straightforward and precise term used to convey the frequency of an event.
