Usage tips
Separable verb
'Reinbringen' (to bring inside / to bring in) consists of 'rein' (inside) and 'bringen' (to bring) and is separable. In a simple main clause, 'rein' appears at the end of the sentence; in a subordinate clause with the verb at the end, the word remains together. With the infinitive using 'zu', 'zu' comes between the two parts.
EXAMPLE
Ich bringe die Stühle rein.
I'll bring the chairs inside.
Sag mir Bescheid, bevor du die Stühle reinbringst.
Let me know before you bring the chairs inside.
Hilf mir bitte, die Stühle reinzubringen.
Please help me bring the chairs inside.
Informal style
'Reinbringen' (to bring inside / to bring in) is colloquial and is especially suitable for conversations and informal messages. Its use for ideas or financial returns also has this casual style.
EXAMPLE
Kannst du bitte noch meine Tasche reinbringen?
Could you please bring my bag inside as well?
Destination with the accusative
If you explicitly name the destination, you can use 'in' with the accusative: 'etwas in einen Raum reinbringen' (to bring something into a room). The person or thing being moved is also in the accusative.
EXAMPLE
Wir müssen den schweren Tisch ins Wohnzimmer reinbringen.
We have to bring the heavy table into the living room.
Typical collocations
Typical expressions include 'eine Idee reinbringen' (to introduce an idea), 'einen Vorschlag reinbringen' (to introduce a suggestion), and 'eine neue Perspektive reinbringen' (to introduce a new perspective). You can connect the context with 'in' and the accusative, for example 'in die Diskussion' (into the discussion) or 'in den Text' (into the text).
EXAMPLE
Du könntest deine eigene Erfahrung in die Diskussion reinbringen.
You could bring your own experience into the discussion.
Returns as a sentence pattern
When referring to financial returns, the business, event, or item sold is often used as the subject. Common complements are 'viel Geld' (a lot of money), 'wenig Geld' (little money), or a specific amount of money.
EXAMPLE
Der Verkauf unserer alten Möbel hat insgesamt 300 Euro reingebracht.
Selling our old furniture brought in a total of 300 euros.
