absolvieren
to complete (an education or course)
- Past (Präteritum)
- absolvierte
- Past participle
- absolviert (haben)
A regular weak verb that typically refers to completing academic, professional, or formal training requirements. It is common in formal German and typically takes the auxiliary verb haben in all contexts, including those implying change of state or duration of an education phase, as it emphasizes the process of completion rather than movement or transition of being itself. It is not separable despite the 'ab' prefix; this is because 'absolvieren' is a loanword from Latin that entered German as an inseparable verb unit, where the prefix is not the German preposition 'ab'. Note the difference from German-origin verbs starting with 'ab-' which are almost always separable; this verb is a clear exception for learners to remember as inseparable.
