How to Say ‘Then I'll take it with me’ in German

Dann nehme ich ihn mit

dan NAY-meh ikh een mit

[dan NAY-meh ikh een mit]

💬 Usage Tip: ihn means "it" here because der Kaffee is masculine. For die Tasse you'd say Ich nehme sie mit, and for das Brot, Ich nehme es mit.

Phrase Breakdown

dan NAY-meh ikh

Then I'll take

'Dann' (then) opens the sentence, so the verb 'nehme' comes second. The 'h' in 'nehme' is silent and makes the 'e' long: NAY-me.
