seicht

German

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /zaɪ̯çt/
  • (file)
  • Rhymes: -aɪ̯çt

Adjective

seicht (comparative seichter, superlative am seichtesten)

  1. shallow (of water only)
  2. (figuratively) simple, light, having little depth (e.g. of a book)

Usage notes

  • Unlike flach, the usage of seicht to describe the lack of depth of a book or film does not have a dismissive or negative notion. Seicht always portrays that the shallowness was intended by the work's creator and is plainly descriptive of it.
