Preposition

bis

1. (temporal) until, to, (US) through

2. (temporal) by

3. (local) to; all the way to

Usage notes

• The temporal preposition bis can be followed by temporal adverbs of all kind: bis nachmittags (“until afternoon”), bis jetzt (“until now”). Moreover it can be followed by times, dates, holidays, days of the week, months, or years. The words Woche (“week”), Monat (“month”), and Jahr (“year”), as well as the names of days and months may also be preceded by letzter, voriger, dieser, kommender, or nächster. For example: bis letzte Woche (“until last week”); bis nächsten Freitag (“by next Friday”).
• The local preposition bis can be followed by local adverbs of all kind (e.g. bis hier (“over here”)) and by place names (see above).
• In other cases, bis must be followed by another preposition, most commonly zu (“to”): bis zum Sommer (“until summer”); bis zum ersten Freitag im neuen Jahr (“by the first Friday of the new year”); bis zum Hauptbahnhof (“to the main station”). This means that bis is never directly followed by a definite or indefinite article. Sometimes other prepositions may also be used after bis: Er ging bis ans Ufer. (“He went close to the shore”).

Latin

Etymology

An adverb for duis, from duo (“two”), as /b/ is often interchanged with /du/ in word-initial position in Latin (in the same way as duellum for bellum (“war”), duonus for bonus (“good”), duis for bis (“twice”) etc.). Before that, from Proto-Indo-European *dwís (“in two, twice, doubly”), from *dwóh? (“two”); compare Ancient Greek ??? (dís, “dis”), Sanskrit ?????? (dvis).

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /bis/, [b?s?]
• (Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /bis/, [bis]

Adverb

bis (not comparable)

1. twice, two times, on two occasions, in two ways

Usage notes

• The word bis (“twice”) drops the s when making compositions, like the Greek word ??? (dís, “dis”). Some words created by compositing include biceps, bidens, bifer, bigener, b?ga, bilix. Because the s is dropped, it's better to write the words like bissenus, bisseni and bissextus as two words- bis senus, bis seni and bis sextus.
