Describes something that causes surprise or astonishment because it is unexpected, unusual, or very impressive.

The adjective 'erstaunlich' (amazing) is closely related to the verb 'staunen' (to be amazed, to be impressed). So something that is 'erstaunlich' makes you marvel or be amazed.

A very common construction is 'Es ist erstaunlich, ...' (It is amazing ...), followed by a subordinate clause with 'wie' (how), 'dass' (that), or 'was' (what). The 'es' serves as a placeholder here.
Es ist erstaunlich, wie viel du in so kurzer Zeit geschafft hast.
It is amazing how much you have accomplished in such a short time.
'Erstaunlich' can also be used as an adverb to modify another adjective or a verb. It then means something like 'surprisingly'.

incredible
'unglaublich' and 'erstaunlich' both describe something that is not normal and causes surprise. 'erstaunlich' fits well when something is unexpected or impressive and makes you wonder. 'unglaublich' is stronger: it sounds as if something is almost hard to believe because it is very great, extreme, or special. 'erstaunlich' often feels calmer and more factual, while 'unglaublich' is more emotional and stronger.
