ausfüllt

Ausfüllt is the present, third-person singular form of the German verb ausfüllen, which means to fill out or complete a form, questionnaire, or document. The base verb ausfüllen combines the prefix aus- with füllen (to fill). The prefix is separable, so in standard main-clause sentences the verb is written as two words, for example: Er füllt das Formular aus. This reflects the general rule for separable-prefix verbs in the present tense.

In addition to filling out forms, ausfüllen has other related senses, such as filling a space or gap (Lücke ausfüllen) or filling something to capacity. The everyday administrative sense—completing fields with required information—is by far the most common usage.

Key forms and related terms:

- Präsens (present): er füllt aus (das Formular). The form ausfüllt by itself is not the standard spoken/written form in this tense; the correct construction is füllt aus.

- Präteritum (past): erfüllte aus? No, eine korrekte Form is er füllte das Formular aus.

- Perfekt (present perfect): er hat das Formular ausgefüllt.

- Nomen/Verbundnominalisierung: Ausfüllung (the act of filling out).

Common contexts include administrative processes such as applying for jobs, registering, completing surveys, or entering data into forms. Related phrases include Formulare ausfüllen, Daten in Felder eintragen, and eine Lücke ausfüllen.
