bemerkst

Bemerkst is the second-person singular present indicative form of the German verb bemerken, meaning to notice, perceive, or remark. The prefix be- combined with merken creates a verb that expresses becoming aware of something or drawing attention to it. Bemerkst is used when speaking directly to someone in the informal “du” form.

In practice, bemerken describes noticing or remarking upon something in the environment, a change, or a piece of information. For example: Du bemerkst die Veränderungen im Garten. or Was bemerkst du an diesem Text? The form bemerkst signals present-tense observation by the subject, while other forms cover different subjects (ich bemerke, er bemerkt) and tenses (ich bemerkte, habe bemerkt).

Grammar and related forms: bemerkst is the second-person singular present; other present forms are ich bemerke, er bemerkt, wir bemerken, ihr bemerkt, sie bemerken. The past participle is bemerkt, used with the auxiliary haben to form the perfect: ich habe bemerkt. The related noun is Bemerkung (remark or note), and related adjectives include bemerkenswert (notable) and unbemerkt (unnoticed). The verb is etymologically built from merken (to notice) with the prefix be-, a common German verb formation.

Usage notes: bemerken and its forms cover both noticing factual details and making verbal remarks. The distinction between bemerken (to notice) and sprechen oder kommentieren (to remark) can guide its use in sentences. Common collocations include Veränderungen bemerken, etwas bemerken, or jemanden bemerken.
