3.3 - Spelling Variations - an overview
--------------------------------------
3.3.1 - Stem Endings in -d or -t
There are some German verbs where the stem ends in -d or -t. It would be difficult to pronounce the -st endings for du and the -t ending for er/sie/es and ihr *if -st or -t was directly added to the stem. This is why an -e is put before these endings;
1⃣ arbeiten (infinitive) -> arbeit (stem) -> du arbeitest (finite verb)
2⃣ kosten (infinitive) -> kost (stem) -> es kostet (finite verb)
3⃣ reden (infinitive) -> red (stem) -> ihr redet (finite verb)
---------------------------------------
du arbeitst ❌
du arbeitest ✅
es kost ❌
es kostet ✅
ihr redt ❌
ihr redet ✅
--------------------------------------
3.3.2 - Verb such as atmen and regnen
Verbs such as atmen and regnen, where the stem ends in a consonant + n or m, also need additional -e.
1⃣atmen (infinitive) -> atm (stem) -> du atmest (finite verb)
2⃣ regnen (infinitive) -> regn (stem) -> es regnet (finitive verb)
3.3.3 Only du, er/sie/es, and ihr are affected
------------------------------------------------
The extra e is added only with the endings for du, er/sie/es and ihr; it does not affect the other verb forms.
ich arbeite
du arbeitest
er/sie/es arbeitet
wir arbeiten
ihr arbeitet
Sie/sie arbeiten
------------------------------------------------
The extra e is added only with the endings for du, er/sie/es and ihr; it does not affect the other verb forms.
ich arbeite
du arbeitest
er/sie/es arbeitet
wir arbeiten
ihr arbeitet
Sie/sie arbeiten
3.3.4 - Stem Endings in -s,-ss, -ß, -x, -z, -tz Normally the verb ending for du is st, but if the verb stem ends in s, ss or ß, add a t as the verb ending for du.
3.4 - Irregular Verbs with Vowel Changes
There is a group of German verbs where the vowel in the stem changes in the present tense. These changes apply only in the du and er/sie/es forms. None of the other endings is affected. Here are examples in some frequently used verbs;
