entsprechen

Entscheiden is spelled wrong. The correct word is entsprechen. The verb means to correspond to, to be in accordance with, to match, or to comply with. It is used to express that something aligns with a reference point such as a standard, a requirement, an expectation, or a description. The sense is typically neutral and formal, and the term appears frequently in technical, legal, academic, and everyday German.

Grammatically, entsprechen is a transitive verb that governs a dative object for the thing it corresponds to. The subject of the sentence is what corresponds, while the dative object indicates the reference. For example: Das Ergebnis entspricht der Realität. Die Anforderungen entsprechen dem Plan. In the past tense, you can say: Der Preis entsprach dem Wert. In perfect tense: Der Antrag hat den Bedingungen entsprochen.

Common usages include phrases such as entsprechen den Anforderungen (to meet the requirements), entspricht dem Standard (conforms to the standard), and entspricht der Wahrheit (matches the truth). The adjective form entsprechen/entsprechend means corresponding or appropriate and is used similarly, for example entsprechend dem Gesetz.

Translations vary by context and include “to correspond to,” “to be in line with,” “to comply with,” and “to match.” In technical and regulatory language, entspricht is a concise way to express conformity or equivalence between items, documents, measurements, or statements.
