ausweichen
to dodge, to evade
- Past (Präteritum)
- wich aus
- Past participle
- ausgewichen (sein)
Irregular strong verb requiring sein because it describes movement to avoid an obstacle or person. It is often used with the dative case to indicate the entity being dodged or evaded. While primarily literal, it is frequently used figuratively for avoiding difficult conversations or confrontations. Do not confuse this with the separable verb ausweichen in a mechanical sense (like tracks/rails), which shares the same form but requires precise dative navigation context.
