halbstündlich

Halbstündlich is a German adverb that translates to "every half hour" or "every 30 minutes" in English. It is derived from the word "Stunde," which means "hour," and the prefix "halb-," which means "half." The term is commonly used in scheduling, timetables, and frequency descriptions. For example, a train might be described as running halbstündlich, indicating that it departs every 30 minutes. This term is particularly useful in public transportation systems, where it helps convey the regularity of service intervals. Halbstündlich is also used in various contexts, such as in describing the frequency of meetings, events, or data collection intervals. Its precise meaning can vary slightly depending on the context, but it generally refers to an interval of 30 minutes.
