Usage Note
Kaiser descends directly from the Roman name 'Caesar', as does the Russian 'tsar'. The female form is Kaiserin ('empress'), and the realm is a Kaiserreich ('empire'); the famous bread roll Kaisersemmel borrows the same word.
Examples
"Der Kaiser regierte viele Jahre."
Natural Translation
The emperor ruled for many years.
