Usage notes edit
- The adverb is used chiefly with verbs of movement, to which it is joined in spelling in infinite and sub-clause forms. (See derived terms below.) Uses independent from verbs are rare but not impossible. For example: der Weg heim zu Gott (“the way home to God”).
- The frequency of heim varies by region. It is a very frequent word in southern Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, but is less common in central Germany and even quite rare in the north. These regions prefer nach Hause instead.
