quand

This is the 10434th most frequent German word.


quand

"Quand" is not a German word; it is French and means "when" in English.


In this sentence, 'quand' would be a mistaken replacement for the German word 'wenn' or 'als', as 'quand' is internationally associated with French.

Quand ich hungrig bin, esse ich gerne etwas.

When I am hungry, I like to eat something.


Here, 'wann' is correctly used in German to inquire about time, not 'quand'.

Ich bin nicht sicher, wann ich Freizeit haben werde.

I am not sure when I will have free time.


'Quand' is indeed French and not used in native German sentences; its appearance can confuse German learners if mistaking it for 'wann' or 'als'.

Ich weiß nicht, warum 'quand' oft als französisches Wort bezeichnet wird.

I don't know why 'quand' is often referred to as a French word.
