This is the 9193rd most frequent German word.
mol
"Mol" in German is a term used in music to denote "minor" (as in a minor key or scale).
In this sentence, 'mal' is used as a softener for the request, making it sound more polite and casual.
Kannst du mir das mal zeigen?
Can you show me that once?
Here, 'einmal' (a contracted form of 'once') is used to indicate a single occurrence or occasion.
Ich war noch nie dort, aber einmal wäre interessant.
I have never been there, but going once would be interesting.
'Mehrmals' translates to 'several times' and is constructed from the root 'mal,' indicating repeated occurrences.
