Accenting Letters

You can look up accented words without typing accents. If there are no Multiple Forms,
the German/English Dictionary will take you directly to the word. If there are Multiple
Forms, you will have to choose the correct word from a Multiple Forms list. See
“Choosing Multiple Forms” for more information.
Remember, if you want to enter an accent yourself, type the letter and press

until the

appropriate accent appears.

Getting Grammar Guidance

When viewing inflections, you can press HILFE to go directly to the Grammar Guide
and view detailed descriptions of how to use the inflections you were viewing along
with usage examples.

Viewing English Inflections

If you are unfamiliar with inflections, it may be helpful to look at some inflected forms of
English verbs. Switch the entry language back to English, enter write and touch CONJ
to see the different forms of the English verb “to write”.
This will give you a good idea of each inflection form.
