beüben

Beüben is a German verb that translates to "to practice," "to exercise," or "to rehearse" in English. It is a common verb used in various contexts, from learning a new skill to preparing for a performance. The verb is derived from the noun "Übung," which means "practice" or "exercise."

In the context of learning, beüben is used to describe the act of repeatedly performing a task or activity to improve proficiency. For example, a student might beüben their multiplication tables to become faster and more accurate. Similarly, an athlete would beüben their technique to enhance their performance.

Beüben can also refer to the act of rehearsing a play, musical piece, or speech. Actors and musicians beüben their roles or parts to ensure a smooth and polished presentation. This type of practice often involves working with others and refining timing and delivery.

The verb is conjugated like other regular German verbs. The infinitive form is beüben, and its past participle is beübt. For example, "Ich habe das Klavierspielen geübt" translates to "I have practiced playing the piano." The verb can also be used reflexively, meaning "to practice oneself" or "to engage in." For instance, "Er beübt sich in Geduld" means "He practices patience."
