What is the difference btwn im Suden von and sudlich von?
What is the difference between
Im Suden von
and
Sudlich von?

Question

Answer

"Im Süden von Deutschland" means "in the South of Germany" = within Germany
So I could say, "Bayern liegt im Süden von Deutschland" "Bavaria is located in the South of Germany"

"Südlich von Deutschland" means "South to Germany" = outside of Germany
So, "Italien liegt südlich von Deutschland" "Italy is located to the South of Germany"

Answer

Please make the effort to either write proper Umlauts (ä, ö, ü) or, if you can't, replace them by ae, oe, ue. Words like "Suden" look so wrong to native Germans, but "Sueden" will be understood perfectly.
Thank you.

Answer

What about Im Suden VON?

Answer

im Suden means 'in the south'
sudlich von means 'south of'

London is im Suden (in the south)
Germany is sudlich von Denmark (south of Denmark), but that doesn't mean it is in the south of Europe, it's still in the north.
