does german have a word for "to" or is it simply implied?

Question

my experience indicates the latter, but i want to know what you know .

so if i were to say programmert zerstoren it would be implied that i meant programmed to destroy?

Answer 1

There are several german words for to.In your example, the appropriate translation would be :
"Programmiert um zu zerstören" or "Programmiert zum Zerstören"

Answer 2

Yes, there is, but not the same way as in english. The corresponding german word to the english 'to' is 'zu', with the same pronounce.

Answer 3

If you mean "to" as in "I am am going to Germany this year", there is a word for that in German. But in many languages, if you are using a verb, such as "to eat" or "to work," the word "to" is implied in the verb used, as an infinitive. So then it is not a separate word.

Answer 4

if it is in the context of going to a place, the word "zu" is used.
if it is used in a verb like "to do" it is not used.

Example: Ulla fahrt zu ihre haus.

Ulla drives to her house.
