Which translation corresponds to 'studieren (allgemein als Tätigkeit)'?

• A. to study what / how / where
• B. to study (in general as an activity)
• C. to take up studies
• D. to be a student; to go to university; to take / attend courses

Answer: (D)

Studieren in German is used for university-level study, describing the activity of being enrolled at a university and taking courses. The natural English rendering captures that context: to be a student; to go to university; to take/attend courses. This emphasizes the institutional setting and ongoing attendance at classes, rather than just the act of studying a subject in general.

The other options miss that university-context nuance. Saying to study what/how/where asks about content or methods rather than where and how you study at a university. A translation like to study (in general as an activity) is too broad and doesn’t convey the specific setting. To take up studies is not idiomatic in English.
