How to Say ‘You can call us.’ in German

Sie können uns anrufen.

zee KUH-nen oons AHN-roo-fen

[zee KUH-nen oons AHN-roo-fen]

💬 Usage Tip: [anrufen] is separable, so in a plain sentence you get [Sie rufen uns an]. After [können], it stays together at the end: [Sie können uns anrufen].

🇩🇪 In Germany: This is polite but normal wording from restaurant staff; it sounds helpful, not stiff. Calling to cancel is common and usually appreciated more than simply not showing up.

Berlin bureaucracy requires real German. This app got me from zero to handling my Anmeldung appointment in three weeks. My coworkers couldn’t believe it.

Relocated to Munich with my family. The everyday scenarios — grocery shopping, doctor visits, school meetings — are exactly what we needed to settle in.
