This is the 11881st most frequent German word.


till

The German word "till" does not exist as such; it might be a misinterpretation or reference to "tilgen" (to extinguish/pay off) or a borrowing from English ("till" as in "until" or "cash register"). Context is needed for clarification.


Here, 'bis' (till) is used as a conjunction indicating a time point until which the action takes place.

Ich warte auf dich, bis du ankommst.

I will wait for you till you arrive.


In this sentence, 'bis' serves as a coordinating conjunction setting a condition for the action.

Wir können nicht anfangen, bis alle hier sind.

We cannot start till everyone is here.


Here, 'bis' is used as a preposition specifying the endpoint of the described duration.

Das Geschäft hat bis 21 Uhr geöffnet.

The store is open till 9 PM.
