What does the German word uber mean?

In German, "über" means "over," "above," or "beyond."

It can be used in various ways, often with a figurative meaning:

* Literally: über (over) - "The bird flew über the house."

* Figuratively: über (beyond) - "That was über amazing!" (meaning extremely amazing)

The word "über" is also commonly used as a prefix in German, giving words a sense of "super," "extra," or "excessively." For example:

* übermüde (over-tired)

* überglücklich (overjoyed)

* überraschen (surprise)

It's important to note that the use of "über" as a prefix can sometimes be informal or even slang, similar to the English "super-" or "mega-."
