Usage tips
Technical usage
'Nativ' (native) is used mainly in specialized language. So pay attention to the subject area of the text: it determines how the adjective is to be understood.
EXAMPLE
Im medizinischen Bericht steht, dass die Untersuchung nativ durchgeführt wurde.
The medical report states that the examination was performed without contrast agent.
Typical collocations
In medical reports, the expressions 'natives CT' (non-contrast CT scan), 'native Aufnahmen' (non-contrast images), and 'native Untersuchung' (non-contrast examination) are common. 'Nativ' (native) can therefore refer both to the examination and to the images produced during it.
EXAMPLE
Auf den nativen Aufnahmen war die Veränderung bereits deutlich zu erkennen.
The change was already clearly visible in the non-contrast images.
Typical collocations
In computing, you will often encounter 'native Anwendung' (native application) and 'native Unterstützung' (native support). With 'nativer Unterstützung' (native support), the phrase often refers to file formats or functions that a program can process or use without an additional extension.
EXAMPLE
Das Programm bietet native Unterstützung für dieses Dateiformat.
The program offers native support for this file format.
Development for
A typical pattern is 'etwas nativ für ein Betriebssystem entwickeln' (to develop something natively for an operating system). After 'für' (for), the accusative is used; the complement names the technical environment for which the software is intended.
EXAMPLE
Das Team hat die Anwendung nativ für dieses Betriebssystem entwickelt.
The team developed the application natively for this operating system.
Execution on
To name the execution environment, 'nativ auf' (natively on) with the dative is often used, as in the pattern 'nativ auf einem Betriebssystem laufen' (to run natively on an operating system).
EXAMPLE
Die Software läuft nativ auf dem neuen Betriebssystem.
The software runs natively on the new operating system.
