unyielding pressure/compulsion Explanation: A commonly used expression in German? Certainly. Some examples from the web: ...zur Rentabilität ...zu Leistung ...zur Tiefe ...zum Erfolg ...zur Kürze For English it would depend on whether it was an internal impulse/compulsion or whether it referred to external pressure. What context are you working in? |
