✦Grammar Breakdown
WieseheichAnkünfteinEchtzeit?
Wie (question word)
‘Wie’ introduces a yes‑no or ‘how’ question and is placed at the beginning of the sentence.
sehe (verb sehen, 1st person singular)
‘sehe’ is the present‑tense form of ‘sehen’ (to see) for ‘ich’. It follows the question word directly.
ich (subject pronoun)
In German the subject pronoun can appear after the verb in questions, but the order ‘sehe ich’ is also correct; both are acceptable.
Ankünfte (plural noun)
‘Ankunft’ means ‘arrival’; the plural ‘Ankünfte’ refers to multiple arrivals, e.g., trains, flights.
in Echtzeit (prepositional phrase)
‘in Echtzeit’ means ‘in real time’. It functions like an adverbial phrase describing how the arrivals are displayed.

‘Ankunft’ is singular; the sentence asks about multiple arrivals, so the plural ‘Ankünfte’ is correct.

Cultural Tip
In German, the formal ‘Sie’ is used when you’re speaking to a service representative you don’t know well. The phrase above is informal (using ‘ich’), so it works best with friends, colleagues, or in a casual app tutorial. Also, ‘Echtzeit’ is a buzzword in German tech circles, so using it signals that you’re comfortable with modern terminology.
