Infinitiv mit zu
Many verbs, adjectives and nouns take an infinitive introduced by zu, which stands at the end of its clause. With a separable verb the zu goes between the prefix and the stem, giving aufzustehen.
Real sentences from the lexicon. The marked words are what show the rule.
"Wir wollen den Aufbruch, das ist auf dieser Klausur nochmal deutlich geworden", sagte der Vizekanzler im Interview mit den tagesthemen. Es gehe jetzt darum, das Land wirtschaftlich wieder stärker zu machen.
"We want a fresh start – that became clear once again at this retreat," said the vice-chancellor in an interview with the tagesthemen news programme. He said the task now was to make the country economically stronger again.
The clause completing es geht darum is a zu-infinitive placed at the end of the sentence.
In den tagesthemen appellierte der SPD-Chef auch an die Geschlossenheit der Koalition: Es gehe jetzt darum, das Land wieder stärker zu machen.
In the Tagesthemen news programme, the SPD leader also appealed for unity within the coalition: the country, he said, now needed to be made strong again.
The complement of 'es geht darum' is a zu-infinitive clause.
Nun ist das Kabinett zu einer zweitägigen Klausur in Neuhardenberg zusammengekommen, um den "Herbst der Reformen" einzuleiten.
The cabinet has now assembled for a two-day retreat in Neuhardenberg in order to launch the 'autumn of reforms'.
The infinitive carries zu, which attaches to the separable prefix.
Und der Druck auf die Bundesregierung wächst, weitere Details auszuarbeiten und die geplanten Vorhaben auch umzusetzen.
And the pressure on the federal government is growing to work out further details and also to implement the planned projects.
The infinitive clause depends on 'Druck' and its verb takes zu before the infinitive.
Das Ziel: Deutschland auf Reformkurs bringen.
The goal: to put Germany on a course of reform.
The infinitive phrase after the colon spells out what the goal consists of; in full it would be das Ziel, Deutschland ... zu bringen.
Auch Bauministerin Verena Hubertz (SPD) und Gesundheitsminister Carsten Linnemann (CDU) trügen Verantwortung "und müssen handeln, statt zuzusehen, wie unsere Städte weiter zugepflastert werden und Menschen an extremer Hitze sterben".
Building Minister Verena Hubertz (SPD) and Health Minister Carsten Linnemann (CDU) also bear responsibility 'and must act rather than stand by watching as our cities continue to be paved over and people die from extreme heat.'
After statt the zu-infinitive expresses the action not taken; the separable prefix zu- of zusehen wraps around to give zuzusehen.
Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz (CDU) betont beim Thema CO2-Preis, die soziale Akzeptanz "dabei fest im Blick" zu haben.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) stresses that, on the subject of the CO2 price, he is keeping social acceptance firmly in view.

The Bundeswehr is supposed to grow - and so far this seems to be succeeding on a voluntary basis: the personnel target for 2026 has been reached.
scheinen takes a zu-infinitive complement; the separable verb gelingen places zu before its stem.
Er reagierte damit auf einen SPD-Vorstoß, eine neue "Gemeinschaftsaufgabe Klimaanpassung und Naturschutz" im Grundgesetz zu verankern.
With this, he was responding to an SPD proposal to anchor a new 'joint task of climate adaptation and nature conservation' in the Basic Law.
The content of the Vorstoß is expressed as a final-position zu-infinitive clause.
Zuvor hatten verschiedene SPD-Ministerien dafür plädiert, Klima- und Hitzeschutz im Grundgesetz festzuschreiben.
Previously, various SPD ministries had called for climate protection and heat protection to be enshrined in the constitution.
The content of the plea is expressed as a zu-infinitive clause set off by a comma.
Ein möglicher Einsatz-Zweck ist, in Krisengebieten das Kommunikationsnetz aufrechtzuerhalten.
One possible application is to keep the communications network up and running in crisis areas.
The predicate complement is an infinitive clause introduced by zu, inserted between the separable prefix and the stem.
Die solarbetriebene Drohne "HAP-alpha" mit 27 Metern Spannweite soll einmal in der Lage sein, bis in die untere Stratosphäre, also bis in etwa zwanzig Kilometer Höhe aufzusteigen.
The solar-powered drone "HAP-alpha" with a wingspan of 27 metres is eventually supposed to be capable of ascending into the lower stratosphere, that is, to an altitude of about twenty kilometres.
In der Lage sein requires a zu-infinitive; for the separable verb aufsteigen, zu is inserted between prefix and stem.
"Das heißt, es übernimmt nur politische Verantwortung in Thüringen", sagt Politikwissenschaftler Benjamin Höhne von der TU Chemnitz: "Und deswegen ist es wichtig für das BSW, in ein weiteres Bundesland einzuziehen.
'That means it takes on only political responsibility in Thuringia,' says political scientist Benjamin Höhne of the TU Chemnitz: 'And that is why it is important for the BSW to enter another federal state.'
The separable verb einziehen forms its zu-infinitive by inserting zu between prefix and stem, serving as the subject complement of 'ist es wichtig'.

Ahead of the hot phase of the election campaign in Saxony-Anhalt, it is above all founder Sahra Wagenknecht who is trying to get into conversation with the AfD.
'versuchen' governs a zu-infinitive clause placed at the end of the sentence.

"I can imagine, for example, making it easier for tenants to equip their apartments with air conditioning or sun blinds." Hubig pointed out that there are currently some obstacles to such projects by tenants.
The separable verb ausstatten forms its zu-infinitive by inserting zu between prefix and stem, and this infinitive depends on erleichtern.

Federal Minister of Justice Hubig spoke out in favour of changing that.
The complement of 'dafür' is an infinitive clause introduced by 'zu' before the infinitive, set off by a comma.

Er ist einer von vielen Helferinnen und Helfern, die an diesem 19. August 2026 Menschen in einer Krisenregion helfen zu überleben. Der Tag der humanitären Hilfe, der seit 2008 einmal im Jahr die Leistungen der Helfer würdigen soll, erinnert an die Explosion einer Autobombe vor dem UN-Hauptquartier in Bagdad am 19. August 2003. Dabei wurden der damalige Hochkommissar für Menschenrechte, Sergio Vieira de Mello, und 21 weitere UN-Mitarbeiter getötet.
He is one of the many helpers who, on this 19 August 2026, help people in a crisis region to survive. World Humanitarian Day, which since 2008 has once a year been meant to honour the achievements of aid workers, commemorates the explosion of a car bomb in front of the UN headquarters in Baghdad on 19 August 2003. In the attack, the then High Commissioner for Human Rights, Sergio Vieira de Mello, and 21 other UN staff members were killed.
Helfen takes a zu-infinitive complement describing what the helped people are enabled to do.

The two SPD ministers Stefanie Hubig and Verena Hubertz, just days before the federal government's cabinet retreat, once again called on the Union not to resist a change to the Basic Law – and presented some concrete proposals for better heat protection.
The content of the appeal is expressed as a zu-infinitive clause with zu directly before the infinitive.
Dafür hat das Ifo-Institut Vorschläge der Arbeiterwohlfahrt durchgerechnet, sagt Studienleiter Maximilian Brömel vom Ifo-Zentrum für Finanzwissenschaft. Wie die Sozialstaatskommission schlägt die AWO vor, Grundsicherung, Wohngeld und Kinderzuschlag zu einer neuen Leistung für erwerbsfähige Menschen zu bündeln. Dazu kommt ein "Erwerbsbooster" - ein finanzieller Anreiz, eine sozialversicherungspflichtige Beschäftigung aufzunehmen.
The Ifo Institute has run the numbers on proposals by the Workers' Welfare Association, says study director Maximilian Brömel of the Ifo Center for Public Finance. Like the Social State Commission, the AWO proposes bundling basic income support, housing benefit and the child supplement into a single new benefit for people able to work. Added to this comes an 'employment booster' – a financial incentive to take up employment subject to social insurance contributions.
The dependent infinitive takes zu directly before the verb.
Einer der Kernpunkte ist die Zusammenlegung von steuerfinanzierten Sozialleistungen wie Grundsicherung, Wohngeld und Kinderzuschlag. Hochscheidt lobt die Empfehlungen der Experten als "sehr mutig und sehr weitreichend" und spricht von einem "window of opportunity", einem günstigen Moment, um bei den notwendigen Reformen des Sozialstaates voranzukommen.
One of the core points is the merger of tax-financed social benefits such as basic income support, housing benefit and the child supplement. Hochscheidt praises the experts' recommendations as "very bold and very far-reaching" and speaks of a "window of opportunity", a favourable moment for making progress with the necessary reforms of the welfare state.
Purpose expressed with um + zu-infinitive; the separable prefix voran- fuses with zu.
Es ist ein Spiel mit der Sehnsucht nach den alten, sanktionsfreien Zeiten, in denen russisches Gas günstig zu haben war.
It is a game with the longing for the old, sanction-free times when Russian gas was cheap to get.
The sein + zu + infinitive construction marks a passive-like sense: gas was cheap to have.
"Eine Möglichkeit wäre, einen Deckel für Eigenanteile aufzusetzen, der je nach Einkommen höher oder niedriger ausgelegt ist", sagte Jung, der Leipziger Oberbürgermeister ist.
"One option would be to put a cap on personal contributions, which would be set higher or lower depending on income," said Jung, who is Lord Mayor of Leipzig.
The zu-infinitive phrase serves as the subject complement explaining what the possibility would be.

"Es ist nur logisch, auch Ungleichbehandlungen aufgrund der sexuellen Identität in der Verfassung zu verbieten", betonte Hubig. Das Wort queer ist ein Sammelbegriff für Personen, deren sexuelle Orientierung, geschlechtliche Identität oder Lebensweise nicht der traditionellen Norm von Heterosexualität und Zweigeschlechtlichkeit entspricht.
"It is only logical to also prohibit unequal treatment on the basis of sexual identity in the constitution," Hubig emphasized. The word queer is an umbrella term for people whose sexual orientation, gender identity or way of life does not correspond to the traditional norm of heterosexuality and the two-gender system.
The clause is a zu-infinitive depending on ist, with es as its anticipatory subject.
Auf Schildern war zu lesen: "Der Wald brennt, und Friedrich pennt." Einige Landwirte störten die Pressekonferenz des CDU-Politikers mit Hupen. Es war der erste öffentliche Termin des Bundeskanzlers seit dem 29. Juli. Kommt der Besuch also zu spät?
On signs it could be read: 'The forest is burning, and Friedrich is sleeping.' Some farmers disrupted the politician's press conference with horn blasts. It was the chancellor's first public appointment since 29 July. So is the visit coming too late?
Sein plus zu-infinitive expresses what can or must be done, here 'could be read'.
Der neue Gesundheitsminister hat angekündigt, diesen Punkt bei den Sparplänen korrigieren zu wollen.
The new health minister has announced that he wants to correct this point in the austerity plans.
The announced intention is expressed as a zu-infinitive clause after the comma.
Sie sind praktisch, schnell und unkompliziert auszuleihen: E-Scooter.
They are practical, quick and easy to rent: e-scooters.
The zu-infinitive completes the sein + zu construction dependent on sind.
What you saved, and when each card comes back.
Every word this backend has met, commonest first. The count is what it has read, not an estimate.
The sixty-nine rules the analysis chooses from, A1 to B2. Open one to read it with the sentences that use it. A rule the analysis wanted and could not find waits here as proposed until a person approves it.
Four steps, and the two places the sentences come from.
Anything up to 500 characters. Or pick one of today's news sentences instead.
It splits the sentence into words and records the dictionary form and endings of each one.
It matches the sentence against the catalogue of sixty-nine rules and records the words that show each one.
The next person to ask that sentence gets the stored answer, without going back to the model.
Pick any word and its reading opens beside the sentence: the dictionary form it came from, its case, its person, and the job it does in the clause.
The underline colour repeats the word class, and the key under the sentence names every colour in words, so the colour is never the only thing carrying the meaning.
Under the words come the grammar rules the sentence uses. Each one names the words in this sentence that prove it, and says why it applies here rather than in general.
Open a rule to read it on its own page, with more sentences from the lexicon that use the same thing.
Two places. You type them, or the backend reads them. Every five minutes it fetches the German news from tagesschau.de, takes the first several sentences of each new article, and queues them. That is where most of the lexicon comes from: current German written for adults, rather than textbook sentences about a pencil on a table.
Every sentence taken from an article carries its headline, its publisher, a link back to the piece, and where in the piece it stood. Nothing here is presented as this site's own writing. If you publish German and would rather not be read this way, say so and you will be left out.
Not blindly. A language model wrote every word of German in here. This one is better than expected: asked to conjugate helfen, it produced ihm wird geholfen for the passive, which is right precisely because helfen takes the dative and so has no personal passive.
It is also confidently wrong sometimes, and a learner is exactly the person who cannot tell. So every form, gender and plural carries two controls: right and wrong. Marking something wrong asks you for one sentence saying what is wrong with it, and that sentence is worth more than the count.
The counts show as two numbers rather than a score. One report against two approvals means something different from one report against two hundred, and a single number hides that.
Reading is free and needs no account. Analysing a sentence nobody has analysed spends money on a language model, so each account gets a daily allowance and can ask for more. Everything after that first analysis is free forever. The result is stored, and so is every word it taught the lexicon.
You can save a whole word, a whole sentence, or a single form. A single form is usually the useful one: helfen, Präsens, er/sie/es is one thing to learn, and it can be solid while ihr helft is still shaky. Forms group under the word they belong to, so a verb with twenty forms is one entry rather than twenty.
You grade each card when you review it, and the grade sets the gap before you see it next. Forgot sends it back to the start. Hard stretches the gap a little. Good multiplies it. Easy multiplies it and then some. A card you keep forgetting keeps coming back sooner, for good, rather than being forgiven after one correct answer. Re-adding a set of forms never resets progress on cards you already have.
The lexicon is shared. Every sentence, word, form and rule is readable by anyone without an account, because a shared lexicon that everyone improves is the whole idea.
Your study list and review history are yours alone. Nobody else can read them, and the storage layer enforces that rather than the application remembering to check.
Sixty-nine rules, A1 to B2, written by hand. The analysis may only choose from them. That is what stops one rule appearing under four names and the links between sentences becoming meaningless.
Where a sentence uses something the catalogue lacks, the analysis may propose a rule. The proposal is stored and linked, so nothing is lost, but it stays marked as proposed until a person approves it. You can read the proposed ones under Rules.
Signing in gives you a study list of your own. Reading the lexicon needs no account.
Signing in keeps a study list of your own. Reading the lexicon needs no account.
Everything here needs an API key, which is the backend itself rather than a person.
Analysing a new sentence asks a language model, so it needs a key. Reading needs none. The key stays in this browser. It also opens these admin pages, so treat it as an administrator credential and do not hand it to a learner.
No key saved. Reading works without one.
Whether the thing is running. The queue is sentences waiting to be analysed; it should be draining, not growing.
What readers said is wrong. The note is the part worth reading; the counts only say how disputed something is.
Everyone who has analysed a sentence, and what they may spend a day. Requests for more are at the top.
