MEANING & PRONUNCIATION

die Mündigkeit

autonomy; capacity for independent judgment

Zur Mündigkeit gehört für mich auch, eine bequeme Erklärung zurückzuweisen, wenn sie den eigenen Erfahrungen und den verfügbaren Belegen widerspricht.

For me, autonomy also includes rejecting a convenient explanation when it contradicts one's own experience and the available evidence.

legal adulthood; age of majority

Mit ihrer rechtlichen Mündigkeit war für sie keineswegs geklärt, wie viel Verantwortung sie sich zutraute und wo sie weiterhin Unterstützung brauchte.

Reaching legal adulthood by no means settled the question for her of how much responsibility she felt able to take on and where she still needed support.
