Usage Note
dar almost never stands alone; it is the separable prefix of verbs like darstellen ('to depict') and darbieten ('to present'). When such a verb splits, the dar- jumps to the clause end, as in Das stellt ein Problem dar ('that constitutes a problem').
Examples
"Das stellt ein großes Problem dar."
Natural Translation
That constitutes a major problem.
Literal Translation
That presents a big problem forth.
