T thomas9 Member English-USA Can someone explain the differences between "auffallen, hervorheben, and hervorstechen"? Thanks! For example, a white shirt stands out of a pile of red shirts..

👁 Frank78 Frank78 Senior Member Saxony-Anhalt German I think you can cut out "hervorheben". That rather means to highlight or to point out. In your sentence I´d say "hervorstechen". That works best when comparing things. If you just say general statements then auffallen and hervorstechen work: "Mein grünes Haar fällt auf/sticht hervor."
