  1. usual, customary, common, in use
    Synonyms: üblich, landläufig, (rare) usuell

Usage notes

[edit]
  • Not used for “usual” in the sense of “that which one is accustomed to” (German gewohnt). For example, one could say Wir nehmen unseren üblichen Tisch (We're taking our usual table), but the same sentence would not work with gebräuchlich.
