How to Say ‘Do you think that's useful?’ in German
Denken Sie, dass das nützlich ist?
DEN-ken zee das das NUET-slihkh ist
[DEN-ken zee das das NUET-slihkh ist]
💬 Usage Tip: [Sie] here is formal [you], so [denken Sie] uses the same verb form as [sie] = [they]. After [dass], the verb moves to the end: [dass das nützlich ist].
🇩🇪 In Germany: At a career event, [Sie] is the safe default with people you do not know. Moving to [du] too early can feel overly familiar.
