bauen
to build
- Past (Präteritum)
- baute
- Past participle
- gebaut (haben)
Regular weak verb using haben. Typically used for constructing buildings, objects, or structures, but also frequently used in abstract contexts such as building trust or relationships. It is the standard term for physical assembly in a professional or casual manual environment. Do not confuse with the unrelated noun der Bau which refers to an animal burrow or a construction site building phase, although it shares the same root origin in Old High German building crafts and settlements.
