Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.In German language, pronouns are used to replace nouns in sentences. The pronoun 'sie' is used when referring to a single female person or object. For example, 'Sie ist meine Schwester' means 'She is my sister'.
It's important to note that 'sie' can also be capitalized to indicate the formal 'you', which is equivalent to 'Sie' with a capital S. This distinction between informal and formal 'you' is an important aspect of German language and culture.
Additionally, 'sie' can also be used as a plural pronoun, meaning 'they'. In this case, it refers to a group of people or objects that are all feminine. For example, 'Sie sind meine Schwestern' means 'They are my sisters'.
