bis meaning and definition in german

Conjunction

Preposition
Frequency:







The local preposition bis can be followed by local adverbs of all kind (e.g. bis hier (“over here”)) and by place names (see above).
In other cases, bis must be followed by another preposition, most commonly zu (“to”): bis zum Sommer (“until summer”); bis zum ersten Freitag im neuen Jahr (“until the first Friday of the new year”); bis zum Hauptbahnhof (“to the main station”). This means that bis is never directly followed by a definite or indefinite article. Sometimes other prepositions may also be used after bis: Er ging bis ans Ufer. (“He went close to the shore”).
