abschliessen
to lock up
- Past (Präteritum)
- schloss ab
- Past participle
- abgeschlossen (haben)
Strong verb with vowel change in stem. Used with haben, it expresses the act of securing a door, gate, or container. Figuratively, it refers to finishing a task, a period of life, or concluding a negotiation. Note: do not confuse with the non-separable 'beschließen', which strictly refers to passing a resolution or making a final decision without the physical locking action involved here.
