How to Say ‘Are you flying’ in German
Fliegen Sie
FLEE-gen zee
[FLEE-gen zee]
💬 Usage Tip: [Sie] takes the same verb form as [sie] (they): [fliegen], not [fliegst]. You'll see the same pattern in [Kommen Sie?], [Haben Sie?], [Sprechen Sie Englisch?]
🇩🇪 In Germany: At an airport counter, staff will normally use [Sie], and you should too. Using [du] here would sound too familiar.
