Vermisse

Vermisse is a German word that translates to "missing" or "to miss" in English. It can be used in various contexts to express a sense of absence, longing, or a state of being lost.

As a verb, "vermisse" (the first-person singular present tense of "vermissen") means "I miss." For example, "Ich vermisse dich" translates to "I miss you." The infinitive form "vermissen" is used more generally to express the act of missing something or someone. The past tense, "vermisse(te)," would translate to "missed."

The word can also be used to describe something that is physically lost or absent. For instance, "Das Paket ist vermisst" means "The package is missing." In this context, it indicates that an item cannot be found and its whereabouts are unknown.

Beyond personal feelings or physical absence, "vermisse" can also refer to a shortage or lack of something. For example, "Es vermisse an Geld" translates to "There is a lack of money." This usage highlights a deficiency or inadequacy. The concept of "vermisse" is deeply embedded in the German language and culture, reflecting the importance of connection and the acknowledgment of absence.
