Intuition (n.) rightly ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠understood is the very opposite of a naive, haphazard, 'immediate' beholding; the way phenomena show themselves must be wrested from things.

Intuition (n.) loses ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠its throne: pure seeing and thinking are both derivatives of understanding, and rather remote ones.

Intuition (n.) of ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the self is lacking to us: we are conscious only of the spontaneity of our thinking, so our own existence can be determined only as an appearance.

Intuition (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠never naked seeing: it always happens within a definite orientation and an anticipatory preconception of what it will find.

Intuition (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠primary. We do not see because we have eyes or hear because we have ears. We have eyes and ears because our intuiting is a seeing and a hearing.

Intuition (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠production carried to purity: in mere beholding Dasein desists even from handling the thing, and lets it stand wholly on its own — which is why, from antiquity to Kant and Hegel, it was the ideal of knowledge.
