Vocabulary
to try to move forth/forward
Hi,
Is the nuance of "to try to move forth despite the challenges" the same as that of "to try to move forward despite the challenges"? If not, how is it different?
Thank you.

It means near enough the same thing, but is less common. Generally speaking, the word "forth" is much less common than "forward", and is largely restricted to certain set combinations such as "go forth" or "bring forth".

Thank you, GPY.
I wondered why the writer chose "forth" there, but now it's clear.
