How to Say “Euros” in German

Euro
/ˈɔʏ̯ro/
The English phrase euros is translated into German as Euro.
Euro refers to the official currency used by member countries of the European Union. In written formats, the symbol € is used to denote the currency.

How does it change in a sentence?

The word Euro does not take a plural ending in the nominative or accusative cases, even when the number is greater than one.

How do you pronounce it?

/ˈɔʏ̯ro/

What mistakes should you avoid?

English speakers often mistakenly add an -s to the end of the word when expressing plural amounts. However, in German, the form remains Euro.

Did you know?

  • When writing prices, Germans use a comma as a decimal separator, so '10.50 euros' becomes 10,50 Euro.
  • If you are reading a price in a German shop, the symbol € is often placed after the number, such as in '10 €', rather than before it.
  • Before the Euro, Germans used the Deutsche Mark, and many older people still refer to prices in Mark to compare inflation.
