Question 1

What does the German word sie mean?

Accepted Answer

they

Answer

The lowercase German pronoun 'sie' most commonly means 'they' (it can also mean 'she,' and when capitalized as 'Sie' it means the formal 'you'). 'This' and 'that' are demonstratives like 'dies'/'das,' and 'them' is the object form 'ihnen' or 'sie' in the accusative — but as a subject pronoun the standard meaning asked for here is 'they.'

Question 4

What does the word "war" imply in German?

Accepted Answer

was

Answer

'War' is the simple past tense of the German verb 'sein' (to be), so it translates to 'was' (e.g., 'er war' = 'he was'). It is not the English word 'war,' and 'which' (welche) and 'when' (wann) are unrelated question words.

but

Answer

In German, the word "aber" translates to "but" in English. It is a coordinating conjunction used to introduce a contrasting or contradictory statement or idea. It is commonly used to connect two clauses or sentences, indicating a contradiction or exception to what was stated before.
