uncompromising
Describes a person, attitude, or action that makes no concessions and rigidly holds to a position or goal.
Sie verfolgte ihre Ziele mit kompromissloser Entschlossenheit.
She pursued her goals with uncompromising determination.
The word is built simply: it consists of 'Kompromiss' (compromise) and the ending '-los', which means 'without'. 'Kompromisslos' therefore literally means 'without compromise'.
Der Trainer fordert von seinen Spielern kompromisslosen Einsatz.
The coach demands uncompromising commitment from his players.
'Kompromisslos' (uncompromising) often describes an attitude or a quality. Typical combinations are 'kompromisslose Qualität' (uncompromising quality), 'ein kompromissloser Standpunkt' (an uncompromising position), or 'eine kompromisslose Forderung' (an uncompromising demand).
Das Unternehmen ist bekannt für seine kompromisslose Qualität.
The company is known for its uncompromising quality.
As an adverb, 'kompromisslos' (uncompromisingly) describes how an action is carried out. It then often appears with verbs such as 'handeln' (to act), 'vorgehen' (to proceed/take action), or 'durchsetzen' (to enforce).
Die Polizei kündigte an, kompromisslos gegen die Kriminalität vorzugehen.
The police announced that they would take uncompromising action against crime.
radical
Radikal describes a political position that fundamentally rejects the existing system or wants to change it substantially. Kompromisslos, by contrast, means that someone makes no concessions. A demand that is not radical can therefore still be pursued uncompromisingly.
Die Partei vertritt ihre Forderung kompromisslos und lehnt jedes Zugeständnis ab.
The party stands by its demand uncompromisingly and rejects any concession.
Die Partei fordert einen radikalen Umbau des politischen Systems.
The party is calling for a radical restructuring of the political system.
