zeitgleich در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Zeitgleich means happening at the exact same time.
- It emphasizes precise simultaneity.
- Used in news, sports, and factual reporting.
- Similar to 'gleichzeitig' but more exact.
The Core Meaning
- Meaning
- Zeitgleich means that two or more things are happening at exactly the same time. It emphasizes the simultaneity of events or actions.
Everyday Scenarios
- Usage
- You'll hear 'zeitgleich' when describing events that occur at the same moment. For instance, when two people start speaking at the same time, or when two different events are broadcast or happen concurrently. It's a precise word to highlight that there's no delay between the occurrences.
Die beiden Läufer erreichten zeitgleich das Ziel.
Formal vs. Informal
- Register
- 'Zeitgleich' is commonly used in both formal and neutral contexts. It's not typically considered slang or overly casual. You might find it in news reports, official announcements, or when discussing factual events. In everyday conversation, it adds a touch of precision to describe simultaneous actions.
Die Sirenen heulten zeitgleich mit dem Erdbeben.
- Nuance
- The word emphasizes that the events are not just close in time, but occur at the very same instant. This distinction is important when precision matters, such as in reporting news, scientific observations, or describing synchronized actions.
Die beiden Ankündigungen wurden zeitgleich veröffentlicht.
Building Sentences
- Structure
- 'Zeitgleich' functions as an adverb, modifying verbs or entire clauses to indicate that something happens at the same time as something else. It can be placed at the beginning of a sentence, after the verb, or at the end, depending on the desired emphasis.
Wir starteten zeitgleich mit dem Projekt.
Connecting Events
- Linking Clauses
- It's often used to link two actions or events that are happening at the same time. For example, 'Sie aßen zeitgleich, obwohl sie in verschiedenen Räumen saßen.' (They ate simultaneously, although they sat in different rooms.) This structure clearly shows the parallel nature of the actions.
Der erste Schuss und der zweite Schuss fielen zeitgleich.
Emphasis and Placement
- Word Order
- Placing 'zeitgleich' at the beginning of a sentence can add emphasis to the simultaneity. For example, 'Zeitgleich begann die Demonstration in einer anderen Stadt.' (Simultaneously, the demonstration began in another city.) This placement draws immediate attention to the parallel event.
Die beiden Nachrichten wurden zeitgleich veröffentlicht.
Das Konzert und die Feuerwerksshow begannen zeitgleich.
- Common Structures

- Zeitgleich + Verb + Subject + ...
- Subject + Verb + Object + zeitgleich + ...
Media and News
- News Reports
- You'll frequently encounter 'zeitgleich' in news broadcasts and articles, especially when reporting on events that happened concurrently. For example, a news report might state: 'Die Börsen öffneten zeitgleich in London und New York.' (The stock exchanges opened simultaneously in London and New York.) This is to precisely convey that the openings were at the same moment.
Die beiden Politiker hielten zeitgleich Reden.
Sports and Competitions
- Race Commentary
- In sports, especially in races or events involving multiple participants or locations, 'zeitgleich' is used to describe when athletes finish at the exact same time, or when parallel events occur. For instance, 'Die beiden Schwimmer schlugen zeitgleich an.' (The two swimmers touched the wall simultaneously.)
Die Teams starteten zeitgleich in ihre Rennen.
Scientific and Technical Contexts
- Precise Descriptions
- In scientific papers or technical discussions, precision is key. 'Zeitgleich' is used to describe experiments or observations that are conducted or measured at the same moment to ensure comparability. 'Die Messungen wurden zeitgleich durchgeführt.' (The measurements were carried out simultaneously.)
Die beiden Sendungen liefen zeitgleich im Fernsehen.
Announcements and Official Statements
- Public Information
- When public announcements are made, or when events are scheduled to start at the same time, 'zeitgleich' might be used. For example, an event announcement could say: 'Die Eröffnung und die Preisverleihung finden zeitgleich statt.' (The opening and the award ceremony take place simultaneously.)
Die Flüge wurden zeitgleich gestartet.
Confusing with Near Misses
- Exactness Matters
- A common mistake is using 'zeitgleich' when events are merely close in time but not precisely at the same instant. 'Zeitgleich' demands exact simultaneity. If one event finishes a second before another, they are not 'zeitgleich'. Use phrases like 'fast gleichzeitig' (almost simultaneously) or 'kurz nacheinander' (shortly after one another) for near misses.
Incorrect: Die beiden Züge kamen zeitgleich an.
Correct: Die beiden Züge kamen fast zeitgleich an (or kurz nacheinander).
Overuse or Misapplication
- When Simpler is Better
- Sometimes, learners might try to force 'zeitgleich' into sentences where a simpler phrase like 'gleichzeitig' (at the same time) or even just 'und' (and) would suffice and sound more natural. While 'zeitgleich' is correct, it carries a specific nuance of exact simultaneity that might not always be intended or necessary.
Less natural: Wir sprachen zeitgleich.
More natural: Wir sprachen gleichzeitig.
Grammatical Placement
- Adverbial Role
- While 'zeitgleich' is an adverb, incorrect placement can lead to awkward phrasing. It generally modifies the verb or the action. Placing it too far from the verb it's modifying or at the very beginning of a complex sentence without clear connection can be confusing. Ensure it directly relates to the simultaneous actions being described.
Incorrect: Die Glocken läuteten zeitgleich.
Correct: Die Glocken läuteten um Punkt zwölf zeitgleich.
The Most Common Alternative
- Gleichzeitig
- 'Gleichzeitig' is the most direct and common synonym for 'zeitgleich'. It also means 'at the same time' or 'simultaneously'. The primary difference is that 'zeitgleich' often implies a more precise, exact moment of simultaneity, particularly in formal or factual contexts. 'Gleichzeitig' is more general and can be used in a wider range of situations, including less formal ones. For example, 'Wir lernen beide gleichzeitig.' (We are both learning at the same time.) - here 'gleichzeitig' is more natural than 'zeitgleich'.
Zeitgleich: Die beiden Raketen starteten zeitgleich.
Gleichzeitig: Wir müssen gleichzeitig essen und arbeiten.
Less Exact Terms
- Fast gleichzeitig / Kurz nacheinander
- When events are very close in time but not precisely simultaneous, these phrases are more appropriate. 'Fast gleichzeitig' means 'almost simultaneously', acknowledging a very slight difference in timing. 'Kurz nacheinander' means 'shortly after one another', indicating a sequence with a minimal gap. These are crucial for distinguishing from the exactness of 'zeitgleich'.
Fast gleichzeitig: Die beiden Explosionen waren fast zeitgleich.
Kurz nacheinander: Der erste und der zweite Gast kamen kurz nacheinander an.
Contextual Alternatives
- Parallel / Konkurrent
- In specific contexts, words like 'parallel' (parallel) or 'konkurrent' (concurrent, in competition) might be used, though they don't always mean *exactly* the same time. 'Parallel' often refers to things happening side-by-side or in parallel processes, which might or might not be precisely simultaneous. 'Konkurrent' implies competing events or efforts happening at the same time.
Vergleich: Zeitgleich (exact moment) vs. Gleichzeitig (at the same time, general) vs. Fast gleichzeitig (almost at the same time).

This means 'one after another' or 'sequentially', which is the direct opposite of 'zeitgleich'.
بهراحتی اشتباه گرفته میشود
Both words mean 'at the same time' and are often used interchangeably in casual speech.

Using 'zeitgleich' for events that are only close in time.
→
Use 'fast gleichzeitig' or 'kurz nacheinander'.
'Zeitgleich' implies exact simultaneity. If two events are not at the precise same instant, using 'zeitgleich' is inaccurate. For example, if two runners cross the finish line a second apart, they did not finish 'zeitgleich'.
-
Confusing 'zeitgleich' with 'gleichzeitig' in formal contexts.
→
Use 'zeitgleich' for precise, factual, or formal descriptions.
While 'gleichzeitig' also means 'at the same time', 'zeitgleich' carries a stronger connotation of exactness. In formal writing or reporting, 'zeitgleich' is often preferred for accuracy.
-
Incorrect pronunciation of the final 'ch'.
→
Pronounce the 'ch' as a soft, guttural fricative from the back of the throat.
Many learners incorrectly pronounce the 'ch' as 'k' or 'sh'. The correct sound is a continuous friction sound, not a stop or a hiss.
-
Overusing 'zeitgleich' in casual conversation.
→
Use 'gleichzeitig' or simpler phrasing in informal settings.
While technically correct, 'zeitgleich' can sound overly formal or precise in casual chat. 'Wir haben gleichzeitig angefangen' is more natural than 'Wir haben zeitgleich angefangen' in most informal situations.

While flexible, placing 'zeitgleich' too far from the verb it modifies or in an awkward position can make the sentence unclear. Ensure it clearly relates to the simultaneous actions.
نکات
Mastering the 'ch' sound
The 'ch' in 'zeitgleich' is a voiceless velar fricative. Practice making a soft, breathy sound from the back of your throat, similar to how you might clear your throat gently, but without voicing. Avoid making it sound like 'k' or 'sh'.
Precision is Key
Remember that 'zeitgleich' implies exact simultaneity. If you're describing events that are merely close in time, consider using 'fast gleichzeitig' (almost simultaneously) or 'kurz nacheinander' (shortly after one another) for greater accuracy.
Build on 'Zeit' and 'gleich'
Break down 'zeitgleich' into its components: 'Zeit' (time) and 'gleich' (same/equal). This helps in understanding its core meaning and remembering that it refers to events happening at the 'same time'.
Adverb Placement Flexibility
'Zeitgleich' as an adverb can often be placed at the beginning of a sentence for emphasis, or after the verb. Experiment with different placements to see how it affects the sentence's flow and emphasis.
Context Matters
Pay attention to the context in which 'zeitgleich' is used. It's common in news, sports, and scientific reports where exact timing is important. This will help you understand its precise meaning and appropriate usage.
Compare with 'Gleichzeitig'
Actively compare 'zeitgleich' with 'gleichzeitig'. Think of 'zeitgleich' as a more precise, often formal, version of 'at the same time', suitable for exact moments.
Active Recall Practice
After learning 'zeitgleich', try to recall and use it in sentences describing events from your day or recent news. The more you actively use it, the more natural it will become.
Understanding Word Origins
Knowing that 'zeitgleich' is a compound of 'Zeit' (time) and 'gleich' (same) reinforces its meaning. Visualizing two clocks showing the same time can be a helpful mnemonic.
Listen for Precision
When listening to German, try to identify instances where 'zeitgleich' is used. Notice the context and the nature of the events being described to understand why this specific word was chosen over more general terms.
Use in Descriptions
In spoken German, use 'zeitgleich' to add precision when describing events that happened at the exact same moment. For example, instead of saying 'They arrived at the same time,' you could say 'Sie kamen zeitgleich an' if the timing was exact and noteworthy.

روش یادسپاری
Imagine two clocks ('Zeit') showing the exact same time ('gleich'). They are ticking 'zeitgleich'. Or, think of a 'zeit' (time) bomb that is set to explode at the 'gleich' (same) moment for both bombs.

ریشه کلمه
The word 'zeitgleich' is a compound word formed from two distinct German words: 'Zeit' (time) and 'gleich' (equal, same, alike). The combination directly conveys the idea of 'same time' or 'equal time'.
معنای اصلی: Literally, 'time-equal'.
Germanicبافت فرهنگی
The word itself is neutral and does not carry any negative or sensitive connotations. Its usage is purely descriptive of timing.
In English, 'simultaneously' or 'at the same time' are the closest equivalents. 'Zeitgleich' often carries a slightly more formal or precise connotation than the general 'at the same time'.

سوالات متداول
10 سوال'Zeitgleich' emphasizes the exact, precise moment of simultaneity. It's often used in formal or factual contexts like news reports or scientific descriptions where accuracy in timing is crucial. 'Gleichzeitig' is a more general term for 'at the same time' and can be used in a wider range of situations, including informal ones, without necessarily implying the same level of precision. Example with 'zeitgleich': Die beiden Raketen starteten zeitgleich. (The two rockets launched at the exact same second.) Example with 'gleichzeitig': Wir müssen gleichzeitig essen und arbeiten. (We have to eat and work at the same time - implying during the same period, not necessarily the exact same instant.)
'Zeitgleich' is used when you want to be very specific about events happening at precisely the same moment. This includes: 1. News reporting: 'Die Börsen öffneten zeitgleich in London und New York.' 2. Sports: 'Die beiden Läufer erreichten zeitgleich das Ziel.' 3. Scientific observations: 'Die Messungen wurden zeitgleich durchgeführt.' 4. Describing synchronized actions: 'Die Lichter wurden zeitgleich eingeschaltet.'
Yes, 'zeitgleich' can function as an adjective, although it's more commonly used as an adverb. When used as an adjective, it typically modifies a noun to describe its temporal characteristic. For instance, 'die zeitgleiche Ankunft' (the simultaneous arrival). In this case, it would be declined according to standard adjective rules. Example: 'Die zeitgleiche Veröffentlichung der Ergebnisse war geplant.' (The simultaneous publication of the results was planned.)
A common mistake is using 'zeitgleich' when events are merely close in time but not precisely simultaneous. For events that are almost at the same time, 'fast gleichzeitig' or 'kurz nacheinander' would be more accurate. Another mistake is overusing it in informal contexts where 'gleichzeitig' might sound more natural. Always ensure the events are truly happening at the exact same instant.
Yes, some common phrases include: - 'zeitgleich mit': simultaneous with (e.g., 'Die Eröffnung fand zeitgleich mit dem Beginn des Festivals statt.') - 'fast zeitgleich': almost simultaneously (e.g., 'Die beiden Tore fielen fast zeitgleich.') - 'zeitgleich geschehen': to happen simultaneously - 'zeitgleich stattfinden': to take place simultaneously
The pronunciation is approximately 'TSY-t-glykh'. The 'ts' sound is like in 'cats', the 'ei' is like the 'i' in 'ice', and the final 'ch' is a soft, guttural sound made in the back of the throat, similar to the 'ch' in Scottish 'loch'. The stress is on the first syllable: ZEIT-gleich.
The main antonyms are words indicating sequential or alternating events, such as: - 'nacheinander' (one after another, sequentially) - 'abwechselnd' (alternating, in turns) - 'versetzt' (staggered, offset) - 'zeitlich getrennt' (temporally separated)
'Zeitgleich' is generally considered neutral to formal. It is frequently used in factual reporting, official announcements, and technical contexts where precision is valued. While it can appear in everyday conversation, it carries a nuance of exactness that might not always be necessary or natural in very casual settings.
The most direct translation of 'zeitgleich' is 'simultaneous'. Other close translations include 'at the exact same time' or 'concurrently', but 'simultaneous' best captures the precise, exact nature of the temporal overlap implied by 'zeitgleich'.
'Zeitgleich' means happening at the exact same moment. 'Parallel' can mean happening at the same time, but it often implies things happening side-by-side or in concurrent processes that might not be at the precise same instant. For example, two parallel projects might run for months, but 'zeitgleich' events would happen at a specific, identical point in time.
