langatmige

The term "langatmige" is a German adjective that translates to "long-winded" or "verbose" in English. It describes a style of speaking or writing that is excessively drawn out, often to the point of being tedious or boring. Someone or something described as langatmige might use more words than necessary to convey a point, frequently elaborating on details that are not essential to the main message. This can manifest as lengthy sentences, repetitive phrasing, or an inability to get to the core of a subject quickly. While sometimes unintentional, a langatmige approach can also be a deliberate rhetorical choice, though it is often perceived negatively by audiences who prefer conciseness. In contrast to clear and direct communication, langatmige discourse can obscure meaning and diminish engagement.
