aufruft

Aufrufst is not a standalone term; rather, aufrufst is the third-person singular present tense form of the German verb aufrufen. Aufrufen is a separable-prefix verb with several related meanings: to call up or fetch something, to invoke or invoke a function in computing, to call upon or exhort someone to do something, and to summon or proclaim. The precise sense depends on context. In computing, aufrufen often means to invoke a procedure or function, as in eine Funktion aufrufen. In public or political language, it can mean to appeal to people to undertake an action, as in die Bevölkerung zu etwas aufrufen.

Etymology: The verb combines auf- (a prefix indicating movement toward or upward, here often implying activation or invocation) with rufen (to call). The past participle is aufgerufen; the noun form Aufruf denotes a call, appeal, invocation, or summons.

Grammar: Aufrufen is a separable-prefix verb. In the present tense, the prefix separates from the verb stem: er ruft auf. For other subjects, auch du rufst auf, er ruft auf. The past tense uses aufgerufen, e.g., Die Funktion wird aufgerufen. The noun Aufruf (der Aufruf) corresponds to the act of calling or appealing. Imperatives follow the standard pattern for separable-prefix verbs, for example Ruf die Daten auf (informal) or Rufen Sie die Daten auf (formal).

Noun and related terms: Der Aufruf means a call or appeal, such as a public appeal or a summons. Related verbs include anrufen (to telephone or call someone) and abrufen (to fetch or retrieve data), which are distinct in usage and meaning.

Translations: aufrufen can be rendered as call up, invoke, fetch, or appeal, depending on context.
