Groß- und Kleinschreibung Glossary of terms

Groß- und Kleinschreibung refers to the rules that determine when to use uppercase or lowercase letters in German.

Detailed Explanation

In German, all nouns are written with an initial capital letter, regardless of their position in the sentence. This includes common, abstract, and concrete nouns. Additionally, capital letters are used at the beginning of sentences, for proper nouns, and for the formal pronoun 'Sie' (you).

Other words, such as verbs, adjectives, and adverbs, are generally written in lowercase, except in special cases.
