Etwas sichtbar machen oder auf etwas hinweisen, oft auch bei einer Behörde offiziell melden.
The German word "anzeigen" is a verb composed of "an" (a prefix meaning "at" or "on") and "zeigen" (meaning "to show"). Together, "anzeigen" primarily means "to display," "to indicate," or "to notify."
Similar words:
- melden — to report or announce
- zeigen — to show
- informieren — to inform
- hinweisen — to point out or indicate
Differences:
- anzeigen often implies a formal or official display or notification, e.g., "ein Problem anzeigen" (to report a problem), or "eine Datei anzeigen" (to display a file).
- melden focuses more on actively reporting or giving information, often in contexts like "Unfall melden" (to report an accident).
- zeigen is more general for "showing" something physically or visually.
- informieren is about providing information or informing someone.
- hinweisen suggests directing attention to something specifically.
Thus, "anzeigen" involves displaying or officially notifying, often conveying a more formal or explicit signal than some of the related verbs.
