kulturell vs natürlich
natural / of course
'natürlich' and 'kulturell' can be opposites when explaining where a behavior, habit, or object comes from. 'natürlich' then means: it comes from nature or seems to be without artificial influence. 'kulturell' means: it belongs to the rules, values, arts, or habits of a society. The words can be confused because something may seem very normal to people but still be culturally learned. A simple guide is: nature or an unchanged essence is more likely 'natürlich'; society and tradition are more likely 'kulturell'.
