B2 Collocation 正式

Bezug nehmen

refer to

意思

To mention or allude to something previously stated or known.

🌍

文化背景

In German business culture, 'Direktheit' (directness) is valued, but it must be paired with 'Förmlichkeit' (formality). Using 'Bezug nehmen' shows you are following the rules of professional engagement. Austrian German can be even more formal than German German. You might hear 'Bezugnahme' used as a single noun more frequently in official documents. Swiss business German uses 'Bezug nehmen' similarly, but often prefers slightly softer openings in emails before getting to the formal reference. In German universities, referencing is a sacred act. 'Bezug nehmen' is the primary way to acknowledge the work of others, reflecting the value of intellectual honesty.

🎯

The Perfect Email Opener

Start your formal emails with 'Bezug nehmend auf unser Telefonat...' to immediately sound like a native professional.

⚠️

Preposition Trap

Never use 'zu' or 'mit'. It is always 'auf'. Think of it as 'stepping ON (auf) the reference'.

Don't be too stiff

If you're talking to a colleague you've known for years, 'Bezug nehmen' might be too much. Use 'Wegen...' instead.

Neither is 'better', but 'Bezug nehmen' is more formal. Use it in letters; use 'sich beziehen' in meetings.

No, it almost always requires a target. You must say what you are referring to.

Both are correct according to new spelling rules, but 'Bezug nehmend' (separated) is more common.

Yes: 'Ich nahm Bezug' or 'Ich habe Bezug genommen'.

Usually no. You refer to statements or documents, not directly to a person. Say 'Ich beziehe mich auf Herrn Müller' (I'm referring to what Mr. Müller said).

Always the Akkusativ.

Absolutely not. It would sound sarcastic if used in slang.

Bezug nehmend auf Ihr Schreiben...

No, 'über' is incorrect here.

Yes, it is {der|m} Bezug.
