Räumt is the third-person singular present indicative form of the German verb räumen. The verb generally means to clear or empty a space, to tidy up, or to vacate a room or area. It is used to describe actions that remove objects, reduce clutter, or make space available.

Räumen has several related meanings and usages. It can refer to clearing a surface, as in den Tisch abräumen (to clear the table). It can also mean to vacate or evacuate a space, for example ein Zimmer räumen (to clear out a room) or einen Ort räumen (to clear a place). The phrase den Weg räumen means to clear the way for someone. In separable-prefix constructions, abräumen is common, with räumen appearing as räumt ab in the present tense.
