In German
N
Meaning: the letter N, pronounced "enn"
Example sentences
NwieNase.
N as in Nase (nose).
DieNaseistrot.
The nose is red.
Grammar note
German “N” is named “enn” and sounds like English “N”. Watch for the combination “ng” (as in “lang”, long), which is a single nasal sound, not an “n” followed by a hard “g”.
Common mistake
Don't pronounce “ng” as “n” plus a hard “g” sound — in words like “lang” (long), it's one soft nasal sound, similar to English “sing”.
