verb

aufzeigen

demonstrate · point out

Etwas deutlich machen oder sichtbar machen, damit andere es verstehen können.

The verb aufzeigen has a few distinct but related meanings in German:

To point out or demonstrate: To show or reveal something, often in the context of facts, problems, or connections. It implies making something visible that was previously hidden or overlooked (e.g., "The study points out the risks").
To indicate or display: To show an alternative or a path forward, such as "offering solutions" or "indicating a direction."
To raise one's hand: In a school or formal setting, it refers to the act of raising one's hand to ask a question, answer, or get attention.

Grammar: It is a separable verb (trennbares Verb). In a sentence, the prefix auf- moves to the end. Example: "Er zeigt das Problem auf."
Word origin: It is composed of the prefix auf- (up/open) and the verb zeigen (to show). The combination literally implies "showing something by bringing it up" or "making something evident."
