blinken
to blink or flash
- Past (Präteritum)
- blinkte
- Past participle
- geblinkt (haben)
Regular weak verb using haben. It describes the repeated intermittent emission of light, such as a lamp, a signal, or a vehicle turning indicator. It is used both for literal light sources and metaphorically for visual cues or eyes flickering. The verb is purely intransitive when describing light emission, though it can occasionally function transitively in specific technical contexts regarding signal control systems.
