What does this sentence mean? I’m learning German and translation softwares couldn’t give me meaningful results.
E.g. if you are at work or at school you could say:
Ich habe heute früher aus.
This means your working hours/school day/classes end earlier as usual/ as expected/ compared to X.
So in your example:
"Pia's (school day) is over earlier today"
Without a comparison it is a short form. Often used in context of school or work, to indicate a deviation from the expected working hours or length of the school day.
But you can extend this to use it as an comparison e.g.:
Pia hat heute früher aus, als ihr Bruder / als normalerweise.
The sentence consists of four components:
Pia
a girls name, subject of the sentence,
two adverbs,
früher
'earlier' and
heute
'today', and the verb 'aushaben' in the 3rd person singular:
hat ... aus.
According to the Duden 'aushaben' has four meanings. In this sentence only one makes sense:
Schulschluss haben.
Putting the pieces back together you get:
Pia is out of school earlier today.
