A1 Idiom 비격식체

Ich bin dran.

It's my turn.

It is my designated time or opportunity to do something.

🌍

문화적 배경

The concept of 'Reihenfolge' is strictly observed. Even without a physical line, Germans often remember exactly who arrived first. In Vienna, you might hear 'Ich bin an der Reih'' (shortened 'Reihe'), which sounds a bit more melodic but means the same thing. Swiss German speakers might say 'Ich bi dra' (dropping the 'n'), but in High German contexts, they use the standard phrase. Germany is the world capital of board games. 'Ich bin dran' is likely the most spoken phrase at the 'Spiel' convention in Essen.
