Hey – a heads up…
When searching for außer (the double S…esset??) the word außer doesn’t come up in the results. The first entry is äußere. In order to get außer, you have to put it in the search field as “AUSSER” (two normal s’s) Then , you will get außer.
Fixed, thank you :)
(außer + dativ ) means beside (zusätzlich)
Besides: “Ich habe alles, außer meinem Pass, eingepackt.” (I packed everything besides my passport.)
right or wrong ?
No, “außer” does not express the idea of “zusätzlich”. It can be “besides”, but then the sense is still “except”, “aside from”. “zusätzlich” means “additionally”.
Officially, “außer” goes with Dative, but in practice, people use it with Accusative a LOT!
