Common Mistakes

  • Da ist deine Flugnummer.

    ‘ist’ describes existence, not something that is written. Use ‘steht’ for displayed information.

  • Da steht dein Flugnummer.

    ‘Flugnummer’ is feminine, so the correct possessive is ‘deine’. ‘dein’ would be wrong.

  • Hier steht deine Flugnummer.

    If you really mean ‘there’, use ‘da’. ‘Hier’ changes the reference point.

Alternatives

  • Hier steht deine Flugnummer.

    Your flight number is written here.

  • Deine Flugnummer ist dort angegeben.

    Your flight number is listed there.

  • Sie können Ihre Flugnummer hier sehen.

    You can see your flight number here.

Cultural Tip

In German, ‘stehen’ is the go‑to verb for anything that appears in writing (e.g., ‘Da steht…’, ‘Auf dem Schild steht…’). It sounds natural and slightly informal, perfect for everyday airport conversations. Remember that ‘Flugnummer’ is feminine, so the possessive must be ‘deine’, not ‘dein’.
