Typical German speaker mistakes in English (40)

I often hear these mistakes made by German speakers who are learning English.

They say:  What means . . . in English?

This is totally understandable to native speakers but it is incorrect.

Remember because this is a question (in the present tense) we need the words ‘do’ or ‘does’.

Correction:  What does . . . mean in English?

 

Alternatively we can say:  How do you say . . . in English?

 

Have fun learning English!
