The usage of “eben” Part 1

posted 1 month ago

“eben” usually expresses confirmation that something else is the case or that there’s no alternative.

Examples:

Ich kann nichts machen. Ich bin eben so! -> I can’t help it. That’s (just) how I am!

(Dann) geh eben früh schlafen! -> Well, just go to sleep early!
