hinzufügen

English translation of hinzufügen

add

The German verb 'hinzufügen' is used to express the action of adding something to something else. It is a separable verb, meaning that the prefix 'hinzu' can be separated from the main verb 'fügen' in certain sentence structures. For example, 'Ich füge etwas hinzu' (I add something) becomes 'Ich füge hinzu etwas' in the present tense.
