KAPITEL 3 | TEIL 3 - PRESENT TENSE: VERBS WITH PREFIXES |
		C. Verbs with inseparable or separable prefixes (Verben mit untrennbaren oder trennbaren Vorsilben) German has six prefixes that can be either separable or inseparable (durch-, um-, voll-, wider-, über-, unter-). Stressed prefixes are separable and express the prefixes' literal meanings. Unstressed prefixes are inseparable and the meaning of the verb cannot be guessed from their parts.
