Punkt Glossary of terms

A Punkt is a punctuation mark that marks the end of a sentence or indicates an abbreviation in German.

Detailed Explanation

The Punkt in German has functions similar to the period in English. It is used to mark the end of a declarative sentence, to separate elements in abbreviations and acronyms, and in the writing of decimal numbers (though this is less common than the comma for decimals).

It is important to note that, unlike in English, there is no space before the dot in abbreviations.
