kürzlich
recently
The German word 'kürzlich' is an adverb that is used to express that something has happened or will happen in the recent past or future. It is often used in sentences to give a time reference, similar to how 'recently' is used in English. For example, 'Ich habe kürzlich ein neues Buch gelesen' means 'I recently read a new book'.
Example sentences using: kürzlich

In this sentence, 'kürzlich' is used to mean 'recently'. The verb 'gesehen' is in the past tense and indicates an action that has been completed.
Er hat kürzlich sein Auto verkauft.
He recently sold his car.
This example uses 'kürzlich' to indicate the recent past. The verb 'verkauft' is the past participle of 'verkaufen' meaning 'to sell'.
Sie hat kürzlich angefangen zu arbeiten.
She has recently started working.
Here 'kürzlich' is used to describe a recent event in the past. The phrase 'angefangen zu arbeiten' means 'started working'.
