What does "uber" mean?
Hi,
I've noticed this word several times, but I've never found explanation in any dictionary.
Maybe it's taken from german language. Has this word the same meaning in english like in German?
Thank you

It is not English; it is indeed German, and means 'over'. As it is a reasonably well-known German word (as in 'Deutschland, Deutschland, uber alles..', the anthem), an English speaker might use it in conversation.

This is a very interesting topic...
I came across "über" a couple of months ago and was first thinking there was something wrong with my ears... ***
"über" is German, yep - and means "over, above, about, via".
The prefix über- ("super-") occurs rarely, namely in special words like übergroß (larger than large), Übermensch (human being with special abilities), Übergott (larger
