In English, they mean two different things, though in German they appear to commonly mean the same thing (die Einsamkeit).

Is it common to use both interchangeably or do Germans typically make a distinction (e.g. die Einöde and die Abgeschiedenheit)?

Thanks for any explanations or clarifications.

Much to my dismay (and to many others), I've discovered that if I try a new lesson with the health system, there's a good chance I'll abandon the app completely. I was fine with the old heart system, and we know the factors:

I ordered some green beans from Sweet Maria's and I thought they would be arriving next week.

Thank you.
