Silber

silver

noun ZIL-ber Less Common

Usage Note

Silber is neuter (das Silber), so the gender 'm' on file is mistaken — like most metals it takes das. It also stands for silverware and a silver medal, as in Silber gewinnen ('to win silver').

Examples

"Der Ring ist aus reinem Silber."

Natural Translation

The ring is made of pure silver.

Literal Translation

The ring is out-of pure silver.
