VOCABULARY.DETAILS.NOTES
A separable verb: prefix 'aus-' separates in main clauses (ich mache das Licht aus). Uses the auxiliary 'haben' in compound tenses. Common meanings: turn off (device/light), arrange (a meeting), and in the phrase 'es macht nichts aus' = 'it doesn't matter'. Formal imperative (Sie) is not provided in the conjugation table because the dataset requires that conjugation values must not include personal pronouns; the formal imperative necessarily includes 'Sie', so that specific form is set to 'not applicable' in metadata.
