realizerealisieren

Realizieren is a German verb with several related meanings. In the core sense it means to bring something into reality or to implement something: to realize a plan, an idea, or a project. It can also mean to realize a profit or an asset by converting it into cash. In everyday language it can also express the moment of understanding something, as in “Ich habe erst realisiert, dass …”.

Beachte: realizerealisieren as a single word is not a standard lexical entry in German. It is likely a typographical error or a fusion of two instances of realisieren. The correct forms are the verb realisieren, the noun Realisierung, and related phrases such as die Verwirklichung.

Herkunft and forms: realisieren comes from the prefix Real- (from Latin realis) via the French realizier/reàliser, and entered German vocabulary through contact with French. The verb is conjugated regularly: ich realisiere, du realisierst, er/sie/es realisiert; past: realisierte; perfect: hat realisiert. Participle: realisiert. The related noun is Realisierung (the realization or implementation of something), and in business or IT contexts one often speaks of Projektrealisierung or Produktrealisierung.

Nutzung and nuance: in business and technology, realisieren is common for describing the implementation phase of a project or the execution of plans. In finance, realisieren refers to converting assets or investments into cash and recognizing gains. In everyday language, realisieren can also mean to become aware of something, as in realizing a mistake or a new fact.

Synonyms include verwirklichen, umsetzen, durchführen; antonyms include scheitern oder unterlassen. Realisierung as a noun corresponds to Verwirklichung or Umsetzung.
