Weise

way

noun VY-ze Common

Also means

manner

Usage Note

Weise as a feminine noun means a 'way' or 'manner', living in the fixed phrase auf diese Weise ('in this way'). Beware the false friend: the unrelated adjective weise means 'wise', and a masculine der Weise is 'a wise man'.

Examples

"Auf diese Weise geht es schneller."

Natural Translation

This way it goes faster.

Literal Translation
