berücksichtigen
consider
Etwas in seine Überlegungen einbeziehen und dabei beachten.
The German word "berücksichtigen" is a verb meaning "to consider" or "to take into account".
- It is formed from "Rücksicht" (meaning "consideration" or "regard") and the prefix "be-", which often turns a noun or adjective into a verb implying an action directed toward it.
- Thus, "berücksichtigen" literally means "to show consideration for" or "to regard".
Similar words:
- "achten" (to pay attention to)
- "beachten" (to observe, to take notice of)
- "einbeziehen" (to include)
Differences:
- "berücksichtigen" implies actively factoring something into a decision or thought process with consideration.
- "achten" and "beachten" are more about noticing or paying attention; less about active inclusion.
- "einbeziehen" stresses inclusion or incorporation, which is slightly broader than "considering".
