rückst

Rückst is the second-person singular present tense form of the German verb rücken. In German, rücken means to move something closer or to shift position, and it can also refer to pushing something away or arranging objects. The form rückst corresponds to the informal address you use with du. The full present tense conjugation is ich rücke, du rückst, er/sie/es rückt, wir rücken, ihr rückt, sie rücken. The word by itself is not a noun or a standalone concept; it is a verb form used within sentences.

Usage examples include: Du rückst den Stuhl näher heran. You move the chair closer. Du rückst mir zu nahe. You are standing too close to me. Er rückt die Tischplatte leicht nach rechts. He shifts the table top slightly to the right.

In written German, rückst is always lowercase unless at the beginning of a sentence or in a quoted capitalization. If capitalized as Rückst, it would likely be interpreted as a proper noun or a misspelling, since there is no widely recognized entry under that spelling. The term may occasionally appear in language-learning materials as an illustration of the second-person singular present tense, or in dictionaries as an example form of the verb rücken.

Related terms include rücken, the base verb, and Rücken, the noun meaning back. The word rücken has several senses, including physical movement, spatial relation, and metaphorical shifts in position or status.
