zutun

The German word "zutun" is a separable verb composed of "zu" and "tun" (to do). It literally means "to add" or "to put to". It is often used in contexts like adding something (e.g., ingredients in cooking) or attributing something to someone/something.

Similar words include:

• hinzufügen (to add)
• beifügen (to attach)
• dazugeben (to add, especially ingredients)

Difference:
While zutun often implies physically or figuratively putting something "onto" or "into" something else, hinzufügen and dazugeben are more directly used for adding items or elements. Beifügen is usually for attaching documents or materials.
