Der Ansprechpartner prüft die Haftpflichtversicherung.

These are the grammatical genders of the nouns:

• der Ansprechpartner = masculine
• die Haftpflichtversicherung = feminine

In German, every noun has a gender, and the article changes accordingly. This does not always match natural gender in a logical way, so it often has to be learned with the noun.

A good habit is to learn nouns as a bundle:

• der Ansprechpartner
• die Haftpflichtversicherung

not just Ansprechpartner or Haftpflichtversicherung by themselves.

In this sentence:

• Der Ansprechpartner is the subject
• die Haftpflichtversicherung is the direct object

The subject is the person or thing doing the action. The object receives the action.

Here, prüft means checks/examines, so the contact person is doing the checking, and the liability insurance is what is being checked.

German often shows this with case:

• der Ansprechpartner = nominative subject
• die Haftpflichtversicherung = accusative object

One small complication: for feminine nouns like die Haftpflichtversicherung, the article is die in both nominative and accusative, so you do not see a change there.

Because the subject is third person singular: der Ansprechpartner = he/the contact person.

The verb prüfen is the infinitive. In the present tense, it changes like this:

• ich prüfe
• du prüfst
• er/sie/es prüft
• wir prüfen
• ihr prüft
• sie/Sie prüfen

So with der Ansprechpartner, you need prüft.

Yes. This sentence follows the normal German main-clause word order:

• Subject + verb + object
• Der Ansprechpartner prüft die Haftpflichtversicherung.

German’s main rule is that the finite verb goes in second position in a statement.

So you can also move another element to the front, but the verb still stays second:

• Heute prüft der Ansprechpartner die Haftpflichtversicherung.

That is a very important German pattern.

Because in German, all nouns are capitalized.

So in this sentence:

• Ansprechpartner is capitalized
• Haftpflichtversicherung is capitalized

The verb prüft is not capitalized because it is not a noun.

This is one of the most noticeable differences from English writing.

German very often forms compound nouns by joining shorter words together.

Haftpflichtversicherung can be broken down like this:

• Haftpflicht = liability
• Versicherung = insurance

So the whole word means liability insurance.

A useful rule for compound nouns: the last part is the main noun, and it determines the gender.

Since die Versicherung is feminine, the whole compound is also feminine:

• die Haftpflichtversicherung

The plurals are:

• der Ansprechpartner → die Ansprechpartner
• die Haftpflichtversicherung → die Haftpflichtversicherungen

Notice:

• Ansprechpartner stays the same in the plural except for the article.
• Haftpflichtversicherung adds -en.

So:

• Die Ansprechpartner prüfen die Haftpflichtversicherung.
• Der Ansprechpartner prüft die Haftpflichtversicherungen.

Traditionally, der Ansprechpartner is a masculine noun and often refers to a male contact person in form.

Depending on context, modern German may also use:

• die Ansprechpartnerin = female contact person
• die Ansprechperson = gender-neutral contact person

So if you want a clearly gender-neutral option, Ansprechperson is often a good choice.

Prüfen is a regular (weak) verb.

That means it follows normal patterns in the present tense and also in past forms. For example:

• infinitive: prüfen
• present: er prüft
• simple past: er prüfte
• past participle: geprüft

Because it is regular, it is a good verb to use when learning basic conjugation patterns.

The ü sound does not exist in standard English, so learners often find it difficult.

prüft is pronounced approximately like prooft, but with the lips rounded more tightly and the vowel pushed forward in the mouth. It is not the same as English oo.

A rough guide:

• ü = say something like ee, but round your lips as if saying oo

Also:

• pf at the start of a syllable is pronounced as a real p + f cluster in careful German speech.
• So prüft is roughly pfrüft.

Yes. Prüfen is a flexible verb and can mean things like:

• to check
• to examine
• to inspect
• to test

The exact English translation depends on context.

So in this sentence, prüft could be understood as:

• checks the liability insurance
• reviews the liability insurance
• examines the liability insurance

All of these can fit, depending on the situation.
