Dutch term or phrase: aanwezig
Hoe vertaal je het als je zegt dat iemand heel erg "aanwezig" is, ik heb het gevoel dat er een ander woord dan "present" gebruikt kan worden, nl iets sterker.
alvast dank, barbara

(strong) presence
Explanation:
Someone has a strong presence (in a group). Or a strong influence.
De andere gangbare betekenis van sterk vertegenwoordigd zijn: an organization has a strong presence at an event.
Dit zijn volgens mij standaard zegswijzen voor "sterk aanwezig zijn" of sterk vertegenwoordigd zijn of belangrijke of sterke invloed hebben.

nadrukkelijk aanwezig
overbearing


Explanation:
In the negative sense of someone who dominates a situation, you could use 'overbearing'. However, without further context (e.g. an example sentence or paragraph) all the answers given here are essentially guesswork.

-> "How to Deal With an Overbearing Mother
Does your mother try to tell you how to live your life? Or scrutinize every decision you make? Not to worry, you can still enjoy her endearing traits if you learn how to manage the less desirable ones."
http://www.ehow.com/how_15126_deal-with-overbearing.html

-> "Two monuments, two related meanings, two slurs on their surroundings -- one from its absence in Lower Manhattan, the other from its overbearing presence on the Baghdad skyline."
