Sag einfach Bescheid.

zahk INE-fakh be-SHITE

[zahk INE-fakh be-SHITE]

💬 Usage Tip: Bescheid sagen means "let someone know" and has no word-for-word English match. Sag mir Bescheid is "let me know", and Sagen Sie Bescheid is the formal version.

🇩🇪 In Germany: A friendly colleague's offer to help again later. It's a real invitation, so it's fine to come back with questions.
