The German verb 'beweisen' means 'to prove' in English. It is derived from the combination of the prefix 'be-' which indicates completion or intensification, and the verb 'weisen' which means 'to show'. Therefore, 'beweisen' can be understood as 'to show something to be true or valid'.
'Beweisen' is a transitive verb, which means it requires a direct object to complete its meaning. The subject of the sentence performs an action to provide evidence or arguments that support a statement or claim. For example, 'Er hat seine Unschuld bewiesen' translates to 'He has proven his innocence', where 'seine Unschuld' (his innocence) is the direct object.
In legal contexts, 'beweisen' is often used to describe the process of presenting evidence in court to establish the truth or validity of a claim. It is an essential part of the judicial system, where both prosecution and defense must present convincing evidence to prove their case.
