sein

Das ist schön.

Das ist ein Auto.

(copulative, with a predicate adjective or predicate nominative) to be

Usage: In this sense sein is always conjugated in the third person singular and takes a dative noun. The impersonal subject es may be present, but is often taken as implied. For example: "Mir ist warm," "Mir ist es warm," and "Es ist mir warm," may all be translated as "I'm warm," or literally as "(To) me (it) is warm." See Usage notes for the respective adjectives.

Ist dir kalt?

Mir ist schlecht.

Dem Mann ist schwindelig.

Den Kindern ist langweilig.

+obj

dat<someone> + adjective<in some way><qq:only for certain adjectives>

(impersonal) to feel (to experience a condition) [with dative ‘someone’ and adjective ‘in some way’ (only for certain adjectives)]

Usage: As in the previous sense sein takes a dative noun and is always conjugated according to the impersonal subject es, although it is usually omitted.

Uns ist nach einem Film zumute.

Mir ist nicht danach.

dat<someone> + :nach(dat)<something desired>/:danach<that thing> + :zumute<q:sometimes>

dative ‘someone’ along with nach (+ dative) ‘something desired’ danach ‘that thing’ (sometimes) along with zumute

(impersonal) to feel like, to be in the mood for [with dative ‘someone’, along with nach (+ dative) ‘something desired’ or danach ‘that thing’, (sometimes) along with zumute]

Er ist alt geworden.

(auxiliary) forms the present perfect and past perfect tenses of certain intransitive verbs

Was nicht ist, kann noch werden. (a common proverb)

That which does not exist now, may come into existence.

Wenn ich nicht mehr bin, erbst du das Haus.

When I am no more, you'll inherit the house.

(intransitive) to exist; there to be; to be alive

Du bist.

Du bist nach mir.

(intransitive, colloquial) to have the next turn (in a game, in a queue, etc.)

Du bist!

Ich bin nicht mehr.

(intransitive, childish) to be "it"; to be the tagger in a game of tag
