The German word 'wöchentlich' is an adverb that is used to describe something that happens or is done every week. It is often used in the context of scheduling or planning, such as 'I go to the gym wöchentlich' or 'The meeting takes place wöchentlich'. It is important to note that the word is spelled with an umlaut over the 'ö' and is pronounced 'vö-kent-lich'.
