gefährdest

gefährdest is the second-person singular present tense form of the German verb gefährden. This verb translates to "to endanger" or "to jeopardize" in English. Therefore, gefährdest specifically means "you endanger" or "you jeopardize." It is used when addressing a single person directly in the informal "du" form. The verb itself is derived from the noun Gefahr, meaning "danger." When conjugated, it follows the standard pattern for weak verbs in German. For example, one might say "Du gefährdest deine Gesundheit" which translates to "You are endangering your health." Similarly, "Du gefährdest das Projekt" means "You are jeopardizing the project." The context in which gefährdest is used will determine the specific nature of the danger or risk being alluded to. It implies a direct action or inaction on the part of the addressed individual that leads to a perilous situation or a potential loss.
