How to Say ‘For you’ in German
Für Sie
fyoor zee
[fyoor zee]
💬 Usage Tip: [Sie] is the formal 'you.' After [für], it stays [Sie]: [für Sie], not [für Ihnen].
🇩🇪 In Germany: This is the normal choice with restaurant staff and customers who don't know each other. Using [du] here would usually sound too familiar.
