Meaning

  1. that (introducing a subordinate clause)

    Sends the verb to the end of its clause, like every subordinating conjunction in German — "Ich weiß, dass er kommt" (I know that he's coming).

    • Ich hoffe, dass es dir gut geht.

      I hope that you're doing well.

Similar words

der

A classic spelling trap: das (one of der's sixteen article forms, used for the neuter — "das Kind") is spelled with one s. dass is the conjunction, spelled with two — different words that happen to sound identical.
