I know there are a few of you on these boards, and I was wondering if you could answer a simple question for me? How do you say 'play' in German? Such as for the play button on a DVD player or similar device. Thanks a lot for the help.

spiele

Thank you very much.

No prob, that's the root word for play, so the conjugation should probably be the same.

To be a bit more precise, spielen is the infinitive (i.e. "to play"). Spiele is actually the plural of Spiel, which is a noun.

to be even more precise , the play button on a DVD player would rather be "abspielen" which is a translation of "playback"
