"Sie kommt jetzt unmittelbar auf uns zu."

[alisatanya]

What does 'zu' mean at the end here? Is it correct in German "Sie kommt jetzt unmittelbar auf uns."? And if yes, what is the difference?

[wataya]

'to approach someone' = 'auf jemanden zugehen' You can't leave out the 'zu'.

[tholenst2]

In this case, it is "auf jemanden zukommen" -- but your argument is of course correct and remains the same.

[wataya]

acknowledged ;-)

What I don't get is why the answer is "approach", which is "zugehen" whereas in this case it's "zukommen"?

[wataya]

"auf jemanden zugehen" and "auf jemanden zukommen" are pretty much synonyms in German.
