Tips to remember “bei”:
– Associate “bei” with the English word “by,” as they sound similar and can have related meanings, especially in the context of location or being close to something.
– Think of common phrases where “bei” is used, such as “bei mir” (at my place) or “bei der Arbeit” (at work).

Explanations:
– “Bei” is a German preposition that is often used to indicate proximity or location. It can mean “at,” “with,” “by,” or “near.”
– It’s also used to express being at someone’s place or in someone’s company.
– “Bei” expresses a static location rather than a destination or movement towards something, which would use the preposition “zu.”

Other words that mean the same thing:
– “Neben” can also mean next to or beside, which is close to “bei” in the sense of proximity.
– “In” can sometimes replace “bei” when talking about being in a location, though it often has a more enclosed or interior sense.

Alternate meanings like slang:
– “Bei” does not typically have a slang meaning; it’s a straightforward preposition.

Examples of sentences that use “bei”:
– “Ich bin bei der Arbeit.” (I am at work.)
– “Wir treffen uns bei ihm.” (We are meeting at his place.)
– “Das Buch liegt bei der Vase.” (The book is by the vase.)
– “Bei Regen bleiben wir drinnen.” (We stay inside when it rains.)
– “Er arbeitet bei Siemens.” (He works at Siemens.)
– “Sie fühlt sich nur bei dir sicher.” (She only feels safe with you.)
