Beziehst

Beziehst is the second-person singular present tense form of the German verb beziehen. Beziehen is a versatile verb with several related meanings, including to obtain or receive, to refer to or relate to, and in certain contexts to take up residence or to cover. The intended sense is determined by the object and construction of the sentence.

Conjugation notes: In the present indicative, the forms are ich beziehe, du beziehst, er bezieht, wir beziehen, ihr bezieht, sie beziehen. The past participle is bezogen, and the simple past (preterite) is bezog (du bezogst). Beziehen forms a perfect with haben: ich habe bezogen. The stem is bezieh-, with the usual endings for weak and mixed German verbs.

Common uses and meanings:

- Receiving or obtaining: Er bezieht eine Rente. Sie bezieht Gehalt. Das Unternehmen bezieht Materialien aus dem Ausland.

- Referring to something: sich auf etwas beziehen; Du beziehst dich auf den Vertrag.

- Taking up residence: eine Wohnung beziehen (to move into a dwelling).

Related expressions:

- Bezug nehmen auf … means to refer to or make reference to something, often in argument or argumentation.

- Bezug as a noun (Bezug) denotes reference, relation, or basis of comparison, but is distinct from the verb form bezieht.

Usage note: Beziehen with money or goods commonly appears without a long object, while the reflexive construction beziehst dich auf is typical for referring to a source or statement. The prefix be- indicates a transitive action that is directed toward a target object, whether receiving, relating, or applying.
