He eats in German 🇩🇪

er ißt info.

Tips to remember the German “er ißt”:
– “ißt” resembles the English “is” but with a twist – it includes eating. Associating the “is” part with existence and then extending the idea to eating can help you remember that “i**ßt**” refers to “he eats.”
– Notice the sharp “s” sound (ß) in “ißt,” which can be a mental marker for the action of eating, as if biting into something.

Explanations:
– “Er ißt” is the third-person singular present tense of the verb “essen,” which means “to eat” in German. The “ß” character is a ligature known in German as “Eszett” and represents a double ‘s’ sound. In newer spelling, “er ißt” is often written as “er isst.”

Other words that mean the same thing:
– “Er speist” is a more formal or perhaps dated way to say “he eats.” It is not commonly used in everyday conversation.
