"Very often"

Translation: Sehr oft

[MadziaBe]

Hi. Is there a context where you can use häufig but not oft (and vice versa)? Or are they synonyms?

[person243]

There is no adjective for "oft" so for describing a noun you have to use "häufig". E.g. "Das ist ein häufiges Problem." = "That's a common/often occuring problem."

Otherwise, they are pretty interchangable. But I think "oft" sounds often better.

I hope I could be of help.

Very much, thank you. :-)
