'Allwissend' (omniscient) is made up of 'all' (all) and 'wissend' (knowing). 'Wissend' comes from the verb 'wissen' (to know); 'all' makes the meaning all-encompassing.
Die Figur wirkt allwissend und kennt sogar die verborgenen Pläne ihrer Gegner.
The character seems omniscient and even knows their opponents' hidden plans.
'Allwissend' (omniscient) is particularly common with terms from literary studies and narrative theory, such as 'Erzähler' (narrator), 'Erzählperspektive' (narrative perspective), or 'Erzählstimme' (narrative voice). 'Allwissender Gott' (omniscient God) is also a common combination in religious contexts.
Die Autorin verwendet eine allwissende Erzählstimme, die zwischen den Gedanken mehrerer Figuren wechselt.
The author uses an omniscient narrative voice that shifts between the thoughts of several characters.
In literary texts, 'allwissend' (omniscient) often describes a style of narration in which the narrator knows more than the individual characters. The word is therefore frequently used in analyses of novels and stories.
Aus der allwissenden Perspektive erfahren die Leser schon früh, welches Geheimnis die Hauptfigur verbirgt.
From the omniscient perspective, readers learn early on what secret the main character is hiding.
