زمینه فرهنگی
In German business culture, presentations are seen as a serious exchange of information. This phrase acts as a formal bridge between the monologue and the dialogue phase. It dates back to academic traditions where the 'disputation' (the Q&A) was as important as the lecture itself.
The 'Zur Verfügung' Secret
The full phrase is 'Ich stehe Ihnen zur Verfügung'. In German, 'stehen' (to stand) + 'zur Verfügung' is the standard way to say you are available for someone.
Don't forget the 'Ihre'
Always use 'Ihre' (formal your) in this phrase. Using 'deine' (informal) with this specific structure sounds like a grammatical mismatch unless you are being funny.

What It Means
Think of this as the 'mic drop' of the German business world. It is the most common way to signal that your speech is over. You are thanking the audience for their time. You are also inviting them to challenge or clarify your points. It sounds professional, polished, and very prepared.
How To Use It
You usually say this while showing your final slide. The full phrase is typically Vielen Dank für Ihre Aufmerksamkeit. Ich stehe Ihnen nun für Fragen zur Verfügung. You should pause slightly after the first sentence. Make eye contact with the room. It tells everyone that the floor is now open for discussion.
When To Use It
Use this in any professional or academic setting. It is perfect for business meetings or university presentations. If you are giving a speech at a wedding, it might be a bit stiff. However, in a formal office environment, it is exactly what people expect to hear. It provides a clear structure to your communication.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this with your friends at a cafe. If you finish a story and say this, they will think you are joking. It is too formal for casual hangouts. Also, avoid it in quick, informal stand-up meetings. In those cases, a simple Danke, habt ihr Fragen? works much better. Using it in a text message to your partner would be incredibly sarcastic.
Cultural Background
Germans love a clear beginning and a clear end. This phrase provides that 'frame' for a presentation. It reflects the value placed on 'Aufmerksamkeit' (attention) as a gift from the listener. In German culture, being 'available' for questions shows you are an expert who isn't afraid of scrutiny. It transitions the power from the speaker back to the group.
Common Variations
You can make it slightly less formal by saying Danke fürs Zuhören. If you want to be very direct, try Haben Sie dazu noch Fragen?. Some people use Ich freue mich auf Ihre Fragen to sound more enthusiastic. However, the 'Ich stehe...' version remains the most respected standard in corporate Germany.
نکات کاربردی
This is a high-level formal expression. Use it when you want to appear competent and professional. The most common mistake is forgetting to finish the sentence with 'zur Verfügung'.
The 'Zur Verfügung' Secret
The full phrase is 'Ich stehe Ihnen zur Verfügung'. In German, 'stehen' (to stand) + 'zur Verfügung' is the standard way to say you are available for someone.
Don't forget the 'Ihre'
Always use 'Ihre' (formal your) in this phrase. Using 'deine' (informal) with this specific structure sounds like a grammatical mismatch unless you are being funny.
The Silent Nod
Germans often give a small, sharp nod when saying this. It signals the 'official' end of the talking portion. Try it to look like a local!

سوالات متداول
10 سوالIt is part of the idiom zur Verfügung stehen. It literally means 'to stand at disposal', but it translates to 'I am available'.
Only if you want to be funny! It is very formal. At a party, just say Danke fürs Zuhören or nothing at all.
Yes, but in a professional presentation, it might feel a bit abrupt. The full phrase shows you are polished and ready for questions.
Yes, because this phrase is formal. If you were with friends, you would change the whole sentence to something like Danke, Leute.
Then just say Vielen Dank für Ihre Aufmerksamkeit and stop there. Adding Ich stehe... specifically invites the audience to speak.
You could use Interesse (interest), as in Vielen Dank für Ihr Interesse. It is slightly more personal than 'attention'.
Break it down: Ouf-merk-zam-kite. It's a long word, but Germans will be impressed if you nail it!
Not usually. In emails, you'd use Für Rückfragen stehe ich Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung. The 'attention' part is for speaking.
Technically yes, but Ich stehe zur Verfügung sounds much more professional and idiomatic in a business context.
It is always Ihnen because the verb stehen in this context takes the dative case. Ich stehe Ihnen...
