    How it works

    This phrase uses the second-person singular imperative of the verb 'kommen' ('komm'), softened or emphasized by the modal particle 'mal'. The prepositional phrase 'zum Punkt' is a contraction of the dative preposition 'zu' and the masculine definite article 'dem' with the noun 'Punkt'. It idiomatically demands that the listener stop digressing and present the core message.
