bewerben

bewerben

"Bewerben" means "to apply" (e.g., for a job or position).

In this sentence, 'bewerben' is used reflexively ('mich bewerben') to mean applying for something such as a job or opportunity.

Ich möchte mich um die Stelle bewerben.

I would like to apply for the position.

Here, 'bewerben' is again used reflexively ('sich bewerben') to indicate seeking to obtain something, in this case, a scholarship.

Sie bewirbt sich gerade für ein Stipendium.

She is currently applying for a scholarship.

In this usage, 'bewerben' means to promote or advertise something, demonstrating a less common but valid usage.

Wir haben eine bekannte Firma beworben.

We advertised a well-known company.
