Semikolon Glossary of terms

The Semikolon is a punctuation mark that separates related elements in a sentence, stronger than a comma but weaker than a period.

Detailed Explanation

In German, the Semikolon is primarily used to separate independent but related sentences, to enumerate complex items in a list, and to distinguish between groups of words in a series. Its use helps to improve readability and to structure complex ideas more clearly.

It is used with a similar function as in English, although its frequency may vary.
