Bezugnehmen

Bezugnehmen is a German verb that translates to "to take into account" or "to consider" in English. It is used to express the action of considering or taking something into account when making a decision or judgment. The verb is often used in formal or professional contexts, such as in business, law, or academic writing.

The basic form of the verb is "bezugnehmen," and it is conjugated in the present tense as follows: ich nehme Bezug, du nimmst Bezug, er/sie/es nimmt Bezug, wir nehmen Bezug, ihr nehmt Bezug, sie/Sie nehmen Bezug. In the past tense, the verb is conjugated as: ich nahm Bezug, du nahmst Bezug, er/sie/es nahm Bezug, wir nahmen Bezug, ihr nahmt Bezug, sie/Sie nahmen Bezug.

Bezugnehmen can be used as a transitive verb, meaning it requires a direct object. For example, "Ich nehme die neuen Vorschriften in Betracht" translates to "I take the new regulations into account." The verb can also be used in a reflexive form, "sich Bezug nehmen," which means "to take oneself into account" or "to consider oneself."

In English, the phrase "take into account" is often used in a similar way to Bezugnehmen. For example, "We need to take into account the environmental impact of our project" can be translated into German as "Wir müssen den Umweltauswirkungen unseres Projekts Rechnung tragen."
