sum
Das Ergebnis, wenn man mehrere Zahlen zusammenzählt.
The German word "Summe" is a noun that means "sum" or "total". It refers to the result of adding numbers together or an aggregate total. The word can also be used in a more general sense to indicate an overall amount or conclusion. Similar words in German include "Gesamtsumme" (total sum), "Betrag" (amount), and "Addition" (addition).
The distinction is in context: "Summe" specifically indicates the result of summing, while "Gesamtsumme" emphasizes the total in a larger context, and "Betrag" can refer to amounts in various contexts beyond just addition.
