About the German Language
- Speakers: 100 million native and second-language speakers worldwide
- Script: Latin alphabet
- Main regions: Germany, Austria, Switzerland and German-speaking communities worldwide
- Three genders. German nouns are masculine (der), feminine (die), or neuter (das). The gender must be memorised — it affects articles, adjectives and pronouns throughout the sentence.
- Compound words. German combines words into long compounds: 'Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaft' is one word meaning 'Danube steamship company'. The translator handles these correctly.
- Formal and informal. Use 'Sie' (formal) with strangers and 'du' (informal) with friends. These translations default to 'Sie', which is the polite choice in professional and unfamiliar settings.
