English Translation
Tom could hardly walk.
Why In German, is the simple concept of “walking” expressed in so many various ways
Could you elaborate?
Off the top of my head, I can think of
- laufen
- gehen
That are two ways I can think of. English has “walk” and “go” (also two ways).

Stroll, saunter, promenade, walk, go, amble, stride, hike, plod, trudge, tramp - I suspect every language has loads of words that basically boil down to ‘walk’, all with subtle shades of meaning that are lost when first trying to learn it.
