What is the difference between umfangreich and weitgehend and ausgiebig and ausgedehnt ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.
- German
Hmm, I would say "umfangreich" is when you answer a question very thouroghly and extensively. So you provide more information than strictly necessary.
"Weitgehend" in contrast is when you provide enough information to answer a question (but not all).
For example: "We are pretty sure to know the extent of the irradiaton caused by the Fukushima incident" / "Die durch Fukushima verursachten Schäden sind weitgehend bekannt"
So "umfangreich" is more information and "weitgehend" is enough information (maybe we don't know how much would be perfect)

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- German
For "ausgiebig" and "ausgedehnt": they mean the same thing but are used in different situations.
Ausgiebig is used when talking about yield:
"Der letzte Braugang war ausgiebig" / "We had a good yield from the last brew"

And "ausgedehnt" you use for surfaces: "Die Suche für den Täter wurde ausgedehnt" / "We have extended the search for the culprit"
