To go in German 🇩🇪

gehen info.

To remember the German verb “gehen,” think of the English word “go,” but with the ‘o’ stretched into an ‘eh’ sound, as if you are about to say “eh?” after saying “go” – “g-eh-en.” This might help establish a connection in your mind between the two verbs.

**Explanations:**
“Gehen” is an infinitive form in German and it means “to go.” It is a strong (irregular) verb, which means that its past tense forms do not follow a fixed pattern and must be memorized individually.

**Other words that mean the same thing:**
– “wandern” – to hike
– “spazieren gehen” – to take a walk, to stroll
– “laufen” – often used interchangeably with “gehen” in the sense of “to walk,” but can also mean “to run”
