I don't know the correct term for that in English, but basically what it means is that you must match something ...with something else. Like if it's an exercise in a textbook or something and you have to match numbers from 1-9 with letters from a) to i). So it would look something like this: 1c, 2f, 3a, 4d etc.
Man sagt hier z.B. auf Deutsch:
Bei dieser Aufgabe müsst ihr die Buchstaben den Zahlen von 1-9 zuordnen.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- German
- Slovenian
The verb you're searching for is "zurodnen", which means "to allocate" or "to assign". "Sie" is just means "you".
So the whole sentence means: "(You,) Please allocate!"

@Gregore Danke schön. Then how about this sentence: Bitte hören Sie zu. What role does "zu" serve here in this sentence?
- German
"zu" belongs to "hören", so the verb is "zuhören", which means listen to so./sth. If you conjugate this word, you have to split it in "zu" and "hören":
ich höre zu
du hörst zu
er/sie/es hört zu
wir hören zu
ihr hört zu
sie hören zu
The sentence is a request to someone, who should listen to someone else (exp. audience, students,...)
