flattern
to flutter
- Past participle
- geflattert (sein)
Regular weak verb. It describes a restless, irregular to-and-fro movement of light objects like leaves, flags, or wings. Figuratively, it is used for incoming messages or news that arrive quickly and suddenly. It takes sein as it denotes motion or a change in status from absent to present in a specific location, though some dialects occasionally use haben for non-directional movement. Not to be confused with the verb flettern, which is rare and refers to climbing or interlacing in specific forestry contexts.
