Common Mistakes

  • Bestätige Sie deine Kontaktdaten.

    Mixes formal ‘Sie’ with informal imperative; use ‘Bestätigen Sie …’ for formal address.

  • Bestätige dein Kontaktdaten.

    ‘Kontaktdaten’ is plural, so the possessive must be ‘deine’, not ‘dein’.

  • Bestätige deine Kontaktdaten

    Missing period is fine in spoken language but in written UI a period or exclamation mark clarifies the command.

Alternatives

  • Bitte prüfe deine Kontaktdaten.

    Please check your contact details.

  • Verifiziere deine Kontaktdaten.

    Verify your contact details.

  • Bestätigen Sie Ihre Kontaktdaten.

Cultural Tip

In German the imperative can sound abrupt. Adding ‘Bitte’ softens it, and in professional or customer‑facing communication the formal ‘Sie’ form (Bestätigen Sie…) is preferred. Also, German speakers often double‑check contact data because it is tied to official documents and data‑privacy regulations.
