German
Etymology

Pronunciation
Conjunction
bis
- (subordinating, temporal) until

- We'll wait here until the thunderstorm is over.
- (coordinating) to
- Ich arbeite 40 bis 50 Stunden in der Woche.
- I work 40 to 50 hours a week.
- Ihre Haare sind braun bis dunkelbraun.
- Her hair is brown to dark brown.
Preposition
bis [with accusative]
- (temporal) until, to, (US) through
- Meine Tochter ist bis zwei Uhr in der Schule.
- My daughter is at school until two o'clock.
- Ich war von Montag bis Freitag krank.
- I was sick from Monday to Friday.
- (temporal) by
- Die Aufgabe muss bis Donnerstag fertig sein.
- The task must be complete by Thursday.
- (local) to; all the way to
- Der Zug fährt bis Köln.
- The train goes to Cologne.
Usage notes
- The temporal preposition bis can be followed by temporal adverbs of all kind: bis nachmittags (“until afternoon”), bis jetzt (“until now”). Moreover it can be followed by times, dates, holidays, days of the week, months, or years. The words Woche (“week”), Monat (“month”), and Jahr (“year”), as well as the names of days and months may also be preceded by letzter, voriger, dieser, kommender, or nächster. Bis takes the accusative. For example: bis letzte Woche (“until last week”); bis nächsten Freitag (“by next Friday”).
- The local preposition bis can be followed by local adverbs of all kind (e.g. bis hier (“over here”)) and by place names (see above).
- In other cases, bis must be followed by another preposition, most commonly zu (“to”): bis zum Sommer (“until summer”); bis zum ersten Freitag im neuen Jahr (“by the first Friday of the new year”); bis zum Hauptbahnhof (“to the main station”). This means that bis is never directly followed by a definite or indefinite article. Sometimes other prepositions may also be used after bis: Er ging bis ans Ufer. (“He went close to the shore”).
