analysiere

Analysiere is the second-person singular imperative of the German verb analysieren, meaning to analyze. It is used to give a direct instruction or request to one person to examine data, texts, arguments, or situations and to derive conclusions or findings. The form is common in instructional contexts, scientific writing in informal address, and everyday communication, often softened with bitte or doch.

Etymology: The verb analysieren derives from the noun Analyse, which comes from the French analyse and ultimately from the Greek analusis (analysis). The noun is spelled with z, while the verb uses the root analysier- plus the imperative ending -e in the du-form.

Conjugation and related forms: Other forms include ich analysiere, du analysierst, er/sie analysiert, wir analysieren, ihr analysiert, sie analysieren. The past tense is analysierte; the perfect is hat analysiert. The noun die Analyse, the adjective analytisch, and related verbs include analysieren, analysierend.

Usage notes: Analysiere is informal and used when addressing someone with du. For formal address, use analysieren Sie. It also appears in headlines and instructional texts as a concise directive.

Examples: Analysiere die Daten sorgfältig. Analysiere die Argumentation kritisch. Analysieren Sie die Ergebnisse bitte.
