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.
