zur Hälfte

Means “by half,” i.e. exactly 50%. Used for amount, degree, or completion.

B1Often
H
🇩🇪German
halb

A very general word meaning “half” or “halfway.” Common in neutral speech, but it does not always replace “halbwegs” without changing the meaning.

B1Very Often
M
🇩🇪German
mittendrin

Means “right in the middle of something,” usually referring to a place, event, or process rather than exact degree. More vivid and less neutral than “halbwegs.”

B1Often
H
🇩🇪German
halber Weg

Literally means “half the way.” It refers to distance and is a noun phrase, not a usual adverbial equivalent of “halbwegs.”

B1Rarely
Z
🇩🇪German
zwischendurch

Means “in between,” “in passing,” or “from time to time.” It does not mean “halfway” and does not indicate the middle of a distance or process.

B1Very Often
T
🇩🇪German
teilweise

Means “partly” or “to some extent.” It is not “halfway” in the literal sense, but rather something incomplete or only partly done.

B1Very Often
A
🇩🇪German
auf dem halben Weg
