genießt

Genießt is a German verb meaning "enjoys" or "is enjoying." It is the third-person plural present tense form of the verb genießen, which means to enjoy, to savor, or to relish. The verb can be used in a variety of contexts, from enjoying food and drink to enjoying an experience or a feeling. For example, "Die Kinder genießen das Eis" translates to "The children are enjoying the ice cream." In a more abstract sense, "Sie genießt die Ruhe" means "She enjoys the peace." The verb implies a positive and often sensory experience. It can also be used reflexively, as in "Ich genieße mich" which means "I am enjoying myself." The past tense of genießen is genoss, and the past participle is genossen. Therefore, a sentence like "Wir genossen den Ausblick" means "We enjoyed the view." The word shares a root with the English word "ken," which historically referred to knowledge or perception, suggesting an element of appreciation and understanding in the act of enjoying.
