Questions & Answers about Sie kommen aus Deutschland.
Why does the translation say "You" when sie usually means "she" or "they"?
Notice the capital S! In German, when Sie is capitalized, it is the formal word for "you". If it were a lowercase sie in the middle of a sentence, it would mean "they" (they come). If it meant "she", the verb ending would change to sie kommt.
Why is the verb kommen here instead of kommst?
The verb ending changes depending on the type of "you" you are using. The formal Sie always takes the -en ending, making it Sie kommen. If you were talking to a friend using the informal du, it would be Du kommst.
Could this written sentence also mean "They come from Germany"?
Yes! Because the first word of a sentence is always capitalized, Sie here could be the formal "You" or the plural "they" (which also uses the -en verb ending). You just have to rely on the context of the conversation to know which one is meant.
Why use aus to say "from"?
When talking about your origins, like your home country or home city, German uses the word aus (which literally means "out of"). The phrase kommen aus is the standard way to say "to come from" a place.
