Rare enough to double-check
stále is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as anadverb, transcribed [ˈstaːlɛ]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "ohne Unterbrechung seiend; ständig, dauernd, andauernd".
stále doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, typically a sign the spelling maps closely to how the word sounds. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
This entry's etymology isn't recorded, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct German form is stále, spelled S-T-Á-L-E.
