wenn

"Wenn" means "if" or "when," depending on the context.

The word 'wenn' is used as a conditional conjunction to introduce a conditional clause, equivalent to 'if' in English.

Wenn es regnet, bleibe ich zu Hause.

If it rains, I stay at home.

Here, 'wenn' is used to introduce a polite conditional clause, showing respect or requesting permission.

Wann kommst du nach Hause, wenn ich dich fragen darf?

When are you coming home, if I may ask?

In this case, 'wenn' is used as a temporal conjunction, similar to 'when' in English, to denote repeated past events.

Ich erinnere mich an die Zeiten, wenn wir jeden Sommer am Meer verbrachten.

I remember the times when we spent every summer at the sea.
