nordöstlich

Nordöstlich is a German adverb and adjective that translates to "northeasterly" or "northeast" in English. It refers to a direction or location that lies between north and east. In geographical contexts, it indicates a position or movement that is predominantly towards the northeast. For example, a town described as being nordöstlich of another city is situated in that general direction. The term can also describe wind direction, with a nordöstlich wind blowing from the northeast. In a more abstract sense, it can denote a tendency or inclination towards something that is in that general area or direction. The opposite direction is südwestlich (southwesterly). Understanding nordöstlich is important for comprehending directions and geographical descriptions in German-speaking regions.
