erstatten

German

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ɛɐ̯ˈʃtatn̩ /

Verb

erstatten (third-person singular simple present erstattet, past tense erstattete, past participle erstattet, auxiliary haben)

  1. (transitive) to reimburse
    Wir werden Ihnen die Kosten erstatten.
    We will reimburse you for your costs.

Usage notes

  • As in the example above, the German construction is unlike the English. The expenses are the direct object of the verb and the receiver is given in the dative case (as in English pay back).
