Synonyms: manchmal, gelegentlich, ab und zu; Antonyms: immer, stets, nie

Comes from 'zu' (at) and 'Weile' (a while). Literally, it translates to 'at a while,' meaning at certain intervals of time.

This is a slightly more elevated synonym for 'manchmal' (sometimes). Use it to add a more formal or literary touch to your writing.
