✕Common Mistakes

  • Wir nutzt Zoom für diese Veranstaltung.

    ‘nutzt’ is the third‑person singular form; with ‘wir’ you need the plural ‘nutzen’.

  • Wir nutzen Zoom für dieser Veranstaltung.

    ‘für’ requires the accusative; using the dative ‘für dieser Veranstaltung’ is incorrect.

  • Wir nutzen Zooms für diese Veranstaltung.

    Do not add an ‘s’ to the brand name; German does not pluralise proper nouns in this context.

↔Alternatives

  • Wir verwenden Zoom für diese Veranstaltung.

    We use/ employ Zoom for this event.

  • Wir setzen Zoom bei dieser Veranstaltung ein.

    We are deploying Zoom for this event.

  • Wir machen die Veranstaltung über Zoom.

    We are doing the event over Zoom.

Cultural Tip

In German business communication ‘nutzen’ sounds slightly more formal than ‘verwenden’. Both are correct, but ‘nutzen’ emphasizes the benefit of the tool. Remember that Zoom is a brand name, so it stays capitalised and is not declined. When speaking to a German audience, you can also mention the meeting link or password after this sentence for added clarity.
