zurückgibt

Zurückgibt is a German word that translates to "returns" or "gives back" in English. It is the third-person singular present tense form of the verb "zurückgeben," which means to return something, to give something back, or to relinquish something.

This verb is commonly used in various contexts. For instance, in everyday language, one might say "Der Kunde gibt das defekte Produkt zurück" (The customer returns the defective product). In a financial context, "Das Investment gibt gute Renditen zurück" (The investment returns good profits). In a more abstract sense, it can refer to something being restored or coming back, such as "Die Natur gibt uns viel zurück" (Nature gives us a lot back).

The prefix "zurück-" signifies a backward movement or a reversal, while "geben" means to give. Together, "zurückgeben" clearly conveys the action of returning something to its origin or rightful owner, or to a previous state. The conjugation of the verb follows standard German grammar rules. For example, the infinitive is "zurückgeben," the past participle is "zurückgegeben," and other forms include "ich gebe zurück" (I return) and "sie gaben zurück" (they returned).
