tätigt

Tätigt is the third-person singular present tense form of the German verb tätigen. The base verb tätigen means to carry out, perform, or execute something, especially actions, transactions, or decisions. The related past participle is getätigt, which is used with the auxiliary haben to form perfect tenses, for example: Die Bank hat eine Überweisung getätigt.

Etymology and use form the core of the word’s meaning. Tätig derives from the concept of activity, and tätigen is a transitive verb that often appears in formal or administrative contexts. It is commonly used in business, finance, and public administration to describe the act of completing an action or initiating a transaction.

Common collocations include zahlungen tätigen (to make a payment), investitionen tätigen (to make an investment), transaktionen tätigen (to execute a transaction). In practice, tätigen is frequently used with nouns that denote concrete actions or financial moves. While other verbs like durchführen, ausführen, or treffen may sometimes be more natural depending on the context (for example, eine Entscheidung treffen rather than tätigen), tätigen remains correct and conventional in many professional registers.

Grammatical note: tätigen is a regular verb. Present tense forms include ich tätige, du tätigst, er tätigt, wir tätigen, ihr tätigt, sie tätigen. The past tense can be expressed with ich tätigte, du tätigest, er tätigte, etc., and the passive or perfect forms use getätigt (with haben), as in eine Überweisung getätigt worden ist.

In sum, tätigt functions as a common German verb meaning to perform or carry out a specific action, principally in contexts involving payments, investments, or transactions, with getätigt serving as the standard past participle form.
