To fail to consider or pay attention to something important.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The phrase is deeply linked to the concept of 'Sorgfaltspflicht' (duty of care). In German law and business, failing to consider a known risk is a serious professional failing. In Austrian German, the phrase is used with the same frequency but often in a slightly more 'höflich' (polite) or indirect way in political discourse. Swiss German speakers use this in 'Schriftdeutsch' (written German) frequently, especially in the context of direct democracy and considering all cantonal interests. In German universities, this phrase is a 'must-have' for peer reviews. It allows for a sharp but professional critique of another scholar's work.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालMostly, but 'außer Acht lassen' is more formal and usually implies that you forgot to consider a factor, while 'ignorieren' can sound more intentional or rude.
Yes, but it sounds very formal. 'Er ließ seine Frau außer Acht' sounds like he ignored her needs in a formal or analytical way.
Because it's a noun meaning 'attention'. In German, all nouns are capitalized.
Yes, but since 'Acht' is an abstract noun in a fixed phrase, you don't see an ending like '-en'. It's a fossilized expression.
No, that is incorrect. The fixed idiom only works with 'Acht'.
In professional or serious discussions, yes. In a bar with friends, it might sound a bit too formal.
The best opposite is 'etwas berücksichtigen' or 'etwas in Betracht ziehen'.
Yes: 'Ich ließ es außer Acht' (Präteritum) or 'Ich habe es außer Acht gelassen' (Perfekt).
No, it's a homonym. The root is 'ahta' (attention).
The standard spelling is three separate words: 'außer Acht lassen'.
