überweisen

    While I was studying the Money section, I encountered the word überweisen. Can I use the word in a sentence like "I'm transferring to another school"? Thanks in advance for your help!

      I would use "versetzen" to describe moving to another school or job. I believe überweisen is strictly financial.

      I think to say you're transferring you'd have use 'versetzen' reflexively. Otherwise it requires a direct object, as when your employer transfers you to a new position.

          und auch einen Patienten von einem Arzt zu einem anderen Arzt (zum Beispiel Facharzt) oder eine Klinik überweisen. Hauptwort ist: Überweisung (meint meist das Formular auf dem die Überweisung eingetragen ist).
