"Das Restaurant ist um die Ecke."

Translation: The restaurant is around the corner.

[ayhanalpar]

why not at the corner?

[person243]

That would be "an der Ecke". This phrase means, that the restaurant is quite close or that there is just one corner between here and there. It does not have to be at a corner it can also be in the middle of the street, if that is not so far away.

I hope I could be of help.

"Around the corner" Means it is not far from here.
Example: The store isn't far from here, it's just around the corner.

[K.Odam]

Not really: it is the word "just" that would say that it is nearby. (It could be around the corner and half-way down the street.)

I'm over here trying to learn German and I casually misspell Restaurant..... crap

[Breadboard16]

Lol, Duo actually got me to spell restaurant correctly

[Saman818545]

Is it also correct to use "um die Ecke" for something that is going to happen soon? e.g. "Der Frühling ist um die Ecke."

[christianchoach]

"by the corner" does not work?

[TommyKeeler]

Why does the corner not take the dative to become der Ecke? I thought sentences that give a static position would take the dative case?

[ToWdWorD]

The preposition "um" is in german bound with accusative case, i think...

[davidayala122135]

Yes is it, sir

[NoMoreRomance]

Why does google translate put a gleich thing in the sentence. "Das Restaurant ist gleich um die Ecke."

[az_p]

That's like "just around the corner".

[dror145056]

Is it like in english in which around the corner means not far?

[MorganGalv4]

Is the female voice kind of buggy for anyone else?

[adamlowe88]

I definitely heard "restaurang"

[BillMatlac]

No one would ever say the restaurant is around the corner- bad choice of words in English.
