For example, it is frequently used when talking about time, such as asking someone to wait for a few minutes or discussing the duration of an event. Additionally, 'Minute' is also used in sports, particularly in football (soccer), to describe a goal scored during the last moments of a match.
It's important to note that in German, the word 'Minute' is feminine and its plural form is 'Minuten'.
