Pronunciation

/ˈhɔ.fn̩/

💡

Cultural Note

'Ich hoffe auf...' (I hope for...) is used to express deeper, more earnest hopes than simple 'hoffentlich' (hopefully). In romantic contexts, 'Ich hoffe, du fühlst das Gleiche' (I hope you feel the same) is a vulnerable way to express feelings.

📝 Example Sentences
