soulmate
A person with whom one feels a particularly deep inner, spiritual, or emotional connection and a strong sense of mutual understanding.
Für sie ist er nicht nur ihr Partner, sondern ihr Seelenverwandter.
To her, he is not just her partner but her soulmate.
'Seelenverwandte' (soulmate) is made up of 'Seele' (soul) and 'verwandt' (related). Literally, the word describes a person who is especially close to one's own soul or seems connected to it.
Schon nach wenigen Gesprächen hielt sie ihn für ihren Seelenverwandten.
After just a few conversations, she considered him her soulmate.
Common combinations include 'einen Seelenverwandten finden' (to find a soulmate), 'seinen Seelenverwandten treffen' (to meet one's soulmate), and 'jemanden als Seelenverwandten erkennen' (to recognize someone as a soulmate). The word is often used with verbs of finding, meeting, or recognizing.
Nach vielen Enttäuschungen glaubte er endlich, seinen Seelenverwandten gefunden zu haben.
After many disappointments, he finally believed he had found his soulmate.
'Seelenverwandter' (soulmate) primarily describes a particularly deep connection and does not automatically imply a romantic relationship. The context can indicate whether it refers to a romantic partnership, a friendship, or another close relationship.
In ihrer besten Freundin sieht sie eine Seelenverwandte, weil beide dieselben Werte teilen.
She sees her best friend as a soulmate because they share the same values.
