I was wondering how could you ask for the meaning of a word in german. Like when you ask "What does (some word) mean?". AsI'm a beginner to german, I think it'sbit surprised that a very useful thing to know how to askgoogle search for "ask for word meaning in german" didn't provide any direct useful link.
UPDATE:
As Vogel612 noticed my question doesn't show any research effort, so let me put some context. I tried some searchesAfter searching for "mean" in google first, but allhttp://de.pons.com/%C3%BCbersetzung?q=mean&l=deen&in=ac_en&lf=en I got were online dictionaries, but nothingfound that gave me an idiomatic way to ask"what does that questionmean?" is translated as "was bedeutet das?", so I asked here.
I'm aware thiswonder if "was bedeutet [Wort]?" is not a translation service, but the Help Center states that
Translation requests to German should always be of general interest and should provide sufficient context. Please understand that we can not be an individual translation service.
I think a correct way to ask for the meaning ofwhat a word is of general interest enough, at least, as I beginner I find it a very useful knowledge and actually I was quite surprised to not found anythingmeans in googlegerman.
Maybe I didn't search hard enough,Also I'm interested in that case, I will be very thankful to anyone that can provide a google query proving I didn't search hard enough.
On theknowing if there are other hand, perhaps I failed at providing contextor better ways to ask for the question or is not as general interest as I thinkmeaning of a word.
