arising / incurred
Describes something that arises, accumulates, or has to be dealt with. It is often used for costs, work, or waste.
Die anfallenden Reparaturkosten waren höher als erwartet.
The incurred repair costs were higher than expected.
'Anfallend' is the present participle of the separable verb 'anfallen'. The verb means 'to arise' or 'to accumulate', so the adjective describes things that are currently arising or need to be dealt with.
Bitte listen Sie alle für das Projekt anfallenden Aufgaben auf.
Please list all tasks arising for the project.
This adjective is almost always used before a noun (attributive use). It describes a process that is currently taking place or will take place in the future.
Die anfallende Gartenarbeit dauert mehrere Stunden.
The arising garden work takes several hours.
'Anfallend' is often used in combination with nouns that represent a kind of burden or task. Typical examples are 'anfallende Kosten' (incurred costs), 'anfallende Arbeiten' (work that needs to be done), 'anfallender Müll' (waste produced), or 'anfallende Gebühren' (incurred fees).
Der bei der Renovierung anfallende Bauschutt muss entsorgt werden.
The construction debris produced during the renovation must be disposed of.
ongoing / continual
Both words can be used for costs. „Anfallend“ says that costs arise or have to be dealt with, while „laufend“ emphasizes their regular or ongoing recurrence. Use „anfallend“ for newly arising expenses and „laufend“ for regularly recurring costs.
Die anfallenden Kosten für die Reparatur übernimmt der Vermieter.
The landlord will cover the repair costs incurred.
Für die Wohnung zahlen wir jeden Monat laufende Kosten.
We pay ongoing costs for the apartment every month.
