einräumt

Einräumt is the third-person singular present tense form of the German verb einräumen. The verb combines the prefix ein- with räumen and has several distinct senses that can be realized in different constructions. In everyday language it is used both physically, to place objects into storage, and figuratively, to acknowledge or grant something.

The primary senses are:

- to admit or acknowledge: etwas einräumen. This means to concede a fact or fault. Examples include einräumen eines Fehlers or die Schuld einräumen. In this use, the phrase often accompanies a clause or a direct object such as ein Fehler or eine Schuld.

- to grant or concede a right, privilege, or benefit: jemandem etwas einräumen. This means to confer or recognize an entitlement. Examples include einen Anspruch, eine Erlaubnis oder einen Vorteil einräumen.

- to place into storage or to stock: etwas in ein Regal einräumen, in eine Schublade einräumen. This is the literal sense of putting objects away or organizing them.

Grammatical notes:

- einräumen is a separable-prefix verb. In finite present tense clauses the prefix is separated, as in Er räumt ein. In other tenses the prefix may appear with the participle, eingeräumt, in constructions with haben (Er hat eingeräumt).

- The meaning of einräumt is determined by context and the objects involved; it can imply admission, entitlement, or physical shelving.

Translations vary by sense and context, including to admit, to concede, to grant, and to shelve or stock.
