A Nebensatz is a dependent clause that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It typically begins with a subordinating conjunction (e.g., weil, dass, wenn) or a relative pronoun, and the conjugated verb is placed at the end of the clause. Nebensätze provide additional information to the main clause (Hauptsatz) and are essential for constructing complex sentences in German.
