I definitely recommend this book to you.
The word consists of the adverb 'weiter' (on / further) and the verb 'empfehlen' (to recommend). Literally, it means to 'pass on' a recommendation to the next person.

Both verbs express a positive recommendation for a product, service, or person. „empfehlen“ can be general advice, while „weiterempfehlen“ emphasizes that you are passing on your own good experience to others. Use „weiterempfehlen“ when this personal experience is important; otherwise, „empfehlen“ is usually the better choice.
