obvious / apparently
Loading your saved state.
obvious
So clear and evident that it is easy for everyone to recognize or understand; unmistakable or evident.
Es ist offensichtlich, dass du müde bist, du kannst kaum die Augen offen halten.
It is obvious that you are tired; you can hardly keep your eyes open.
apparently
Expresses that something seems to be true, even if there is not yet final certainty. Synonymous with 'anscheinend' (apparently).
Der Brief ist noch nicht angekommen, er wurde offensichtlich noch nicht abgeschickt.
The letter has not arrived yet; apparently it has not been sent yet.
The word is a compound of 'offen' (open) and 'sichtlich' (visible, from 'Sicht' meaning sight/view). Something that is 'offensichtlich' (obvious/apparent) is therefore 'openly' before your eyes and clear for everyone to see.
Sein Fehler im Bericht war so groß, dass er offensichtlich war.
His mistake in the report was so big that it was obvious.
As an adverb, 'offensichtlich' can stand flexibly in the sentence. It often appears at the beginning of the sentence to emphasize the statement, or after the conjugated verb within the sentence.
Offensichtlich hat er den Zug verpasst.
Apparently, he missed the train.
Pay attention to the subtle difference: 'Offensichtlich' can mean that something is certain and visible to everyone. But it can also express a strong assumption, similar to 'anscheinend' (apparently).
Die Tinte auf dem Papier ist noch nass, der Brief ist offensichtlich neu.
The ink on the paper is still wet; the letter is obviously new.
clear / clearly
Deutlich and offensichtlich can both describe something that is clearly recognizable. Deutlich is particularly appropriate when a presentation, voice, or writing is easy to perceive; offensichtlich focuses more on a fact that is easily inferred from the circumstances. Choose deutlich for perception and offensichtlich for a clear conclusion.
Nach dem Blick auf die leeren Teller war offensichtlich, dass alle hungrig gewesen waren.
After seeing the empty plates, it was obvious that everyone had been hungry.
Bitte sprich deutlich, damit alle deine Erklärung verstehen.
Please speak clearly so that everyone can understand your explanation.
