German
Etymology
From Middle High German bevor, from Old High German bifora (“before”, adverb).
Pronunciation
Conjunction
bevor
Usage notes
- Like English before, the German conjunction is often followed by a redundant negation, particularly in common speech. Therefore the following two sentences mean the same:
- Du kriegst keinen Nachtisch, bevor du alles aufgegessen hast.
- Du kriegst keinen Nachtisch, bevor du nicht alles aufgegessen hast.
- You won’t get any dessert before you’ve eaten up everything.
Adverb
bevor
