Also means
set
Usage Note
Satz is impressively polysemous: a grammatical sentence, a set (of dishes or tennis), a leap (ein Satz nach vorn), and even coffee grounds (Kaffeesatz). Context and compounds disambiguate; the plural is Sätze.
Examples
"Dieser Satz ist zu lang."
Natural Translation
This sentence is too long.
