Q: Was ist der Unterschied zwischen valid und legitimate ?
A: Oooh, great question!

Legitimate relates to legality - the law. It’s not only used in legal issues but it’s useful to know that, to know where/when to use it.

So being legitimate means it has legal value, legal rightness. Again, not always used so formally.

Even 40 years ago, ordinary people might talk about a child being legitimate or illegitimate because the parents weren’t married, or they were from an extra-marital affair.

Otherwise, legitimate is mostly about the rights to something, like a legitimate insurance claim, or even among countries, for example agreed by the UN or other global executive organisations: a legitimate war/attack or embargo, etc.

Valid is quite similar to legitimate in some contexts. They can often be interchanged.
