justieren
justieren 30초 만에
- Justieren is a German verb meaning 'to adjust' or 'to calibrate', focusing on high technical precision and eliminating measurement errors.
- It is a regular verb ending in -ieren, which means it does not take the 'ge-' prefix in its past participle form (justiert).
- While 'einstellen' is for general settings like volume, 'justieren' is reserved for scientific instruments, optics, and fine mechanical parts.
- Figuratively, it is used in politics and business to describe the fine-tuning of strategies, laws, or personal expectations to match reality.
- Technical Accuracy
- The term implies the removal of deviation. It is about reaching a 'zero point' or a perfect state of balance where a measuring instrument shows the true value.
Der Techniker muss die empfindliche Waage vor der Messung genau justieren.
- Etymological Hint
- The word comes from the Latin 'iustus', meaning 'just' or 'right'. To justieren is to make something 'right' according to a law or standard.

How Formal Is It?
재미있는 사실
The word 'Justiz' (justice) and 'justieren' share the same root. In a way, to 'justieren' a machine is to give it 'justice' by making it behave exactly as it should according to its laws of physics.
발음 가이드
- Pronouncing the 'j' like the English 'j' in 'judge'. It must be a 'y' sound.
- Putting the stress on the first syllable. It is always on 'tie'.
- Pronouncing it like 'justice' in English. It is a three-syllable word.
- Forgetting that the 'i' and 'e' in '-ieren' create a long 'ee' sound.
- Adding a 'ge-' in the past participle (e.g., saying 'gejustiert' instead of 'justiert').
난이도
The word is common in manuals and news, making it easy to recognize once you know the root.
Remembering the -ieren ending and the lack of 'ge-' in the past participle is the main hurdle.
Pronunciation of the 'j' and the stress on 'tie' require some practice for beginners.
It sounds very distinct in a sentence due to the 'ee' sound and the stress pattern.

팁
The -ieren Rule
Never add 'ge-' to the past participle of verbs ending in -ieren. This is one of the most consistent rules in German grammar. Just say 'justiert', 'studiert', 'telefoniert'.
Precision is Key
Use 'justieren' when you want to emphasize that an adjustment is technical and precise. It makes your German sound much more authentic in professional contexts.
Stress the Middle
Always put the stress on the 'tie' in 'justieren'. German verbs ending in '-ieren' always have the stress on that syllable. It helps with the rhythm of your speech.
Business Contexts
In professional emails, use 'nachjustieren' when discussing plans or budgets. It sounds proactive and detail-oriented, which is highly valued in German business culture.
Technical Manuals
If you hear 'Justierung' in a technical video or manual, look for small tools like screwdrivers or dials. The word is almost always associated with fine-tuning.
Just Right
Associate 'justieren' with making something 'just right'. If it's not 'just right', you haven't 'justiert' it yet.
Engineering Pride
Understand that 'justieren' is a word of pride for German craftsmen. It represents the final step of perfection in their work.
Life Goals
Don't be afraid to use 'justieren' for abstract things like 'Lebensziele' (life goals). It's a very common and sophisticated way to talk about personal growth.
Not for Volume
Avoid using 'justieren' for your TV or radio volume unless you are literally calibrating the audio system's hardware. Use 'einstellen' instead.
Related Nouns
Learn 'die Justierung' along with the verb. Technical German uses nouns frequently (Nominalstil), so knowing the noun is very helpful for reading.
암기하기
기억법
Think of the word 'Justice'. When you 'justieren' a scale, you are being 'just' and 'fair' to the weight. You are giving the object its 'just' measurement. Also, remember that '-ieren' verbs are 'foreign' (Latin/French) and never take 'ge-'.
시각적 연상
Imagine a tiny, silver screwdriver turning a very small screw inside a high-end watch. This tiny, precise movement is 'justieren'. Or imagine a scientist in a white coat carefully moving a laser until it hits the exact center of a target.

어원
The word 'justieren' entered German in the 17th century from the French word 'ajuster'. The French word itself is derived from 'à' (to) and 'juste' (just/right), which comes from the Latin 'iustus' (meaning 'lawful', 'right', or 'proper'). It was originally used in the context of metalworking and minting coins to ensure they had the correct weight.
원래 의미: To make something conform to a standard or a law; specifically, to give a coin the correct weight.

No specific sensitivities. It is a neutral, professional term.
English speakers often use 'fine-tune' or 'tweak' where Germans would use 'justieren'. 'Calibrate' is the closest technical equivalent.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문No, while its primary use is technical, it is very common in figurative contexts. You can 'justieren' your strategy, your expectations, or even your moral compass. In these cases, it means to fine-tune or realign your approach based on new information or reality.
'Justieren' is the initial or general act of adjustment. 'Nachjustieren' implies that an adjustment has already been made, but a small correction is needed to make it perfect or to respond to changes. It is like 'tweaking' something that was already set up.
Technically, you could, but it would sound very strange. For volume, brightness, or simple settings, Germans always use 'einstellen'. If you use 'justieren', people might think you are trying to be funny or that you are an engineer who views everything as a technical instrument.
It is a regular verb: 'ich justierte' (simple past) and 'ich habe justiert' (present perfect). Remember the rule for verbs ending in '-ieren': they never take the 'ge-' prefix in the past participle. So, 'gejustiert' is incorrect; 'justiert' is correct.
Use 'kalibrieren' when you are talking about the *process* of checking a device's accuracy against a standard. Use 'justieren' when you are talking about the *action* of changing the device to make it accurate. In casual conversation, many people use 'kalibrieren' for both.
Yes, it is considered a formal to neutral word. It is the standard term in professional and technical environments. In very casual settings, people might just say 'richtig machen' or 'einstellen', but 'justieren' is perfectly acceptable and sounds educated.
Common items include scales (Waagen), microscopes (Mikroskope), telescopes (Teleskope), bicycle gears (Fahrradschaltung), car brakes (Bremsen), and lasers (Laser). In a non-physical sense, budgets, laws, and business strategies are often 'justiert'.
Yes! They come from the same Latin root 'iustus'. To 'justieren' something is to make it 'just' or 'right' according to the rules of how it should work. It's a beautiful linguistic connection between mechanical precision and moral fairness.
A 'Justierschraube' is an adjustment screw. It is a small screw used specifically to align parts of a machine or a piece of furniture. For example, the screws on your kitchen cabinet hinges that allow you to make the doors straight are 'Justierschrauben'.
Yes, 'sich justieren' is used for modern devices that can calibrate themselves. For example: 'Das System justiert sich bei jedem Start von selbst' (The system adjusts itself automatically every time it starts).

Summary
The word 'justieren' is your go-to verb for anything requiring a 'steady hand' and 'exact numbers'. Use it when you are moving from a rough setup to a perfect calibration. Example: 'Die Waage muss auf das Milligramm genau justiert werden.'
- Justieren is a German verb meaning 'to adjust' or 'to calibrate', focusing on high technical precision and eliminating measurement errors.
- It is a regular verb ending in -ieren, which means it does not take the 'ge-' prefix in its past participle form (justiert).
- While 'einstellen' is for general settings like volume, 'justieren' is reserved for scientific instruments, optics, and fine mechanical parts.
- Figuratively, it is used in politics and business to describe the fine-tuning of strategies, laws, or personal expectations to match reality.
The -ieren Rule
Never add 'ge-' to the past participle of verbs ending in -ieren. This is one of the most consistent rules in German grammar. Just say 'justiert', 'studiert', 'telefoniert'.
Precision is Key
Use 'justieren' when you want to emphasize that an adjustment is technical and precise. It makes your German sound much more authentic in professional contexts.
Stress the Middle
Always put the stress on the 'tie' in 'justieren'. German verbs ending in '-ieren' always have the stress on that syllable. It helps with the rhythm of your speech.
Business Contexts
In professional emails, use 'nachjustieren' when discussing plans or budgets. It sounds proactive and detail-oriented, which is highly valued in German business culture.
