herausfallen
to fall out
- Past (Präteritum)
- fiel heraus
- Past participle
- herausgefallen (sein)
Strong verb using the auxiliary sein due to the motion implied by the change of location. It indicates that an object spontaneously exits a container or enclosure due to lack of security or impact. It is commonly used in technical or everyday contexts regarding loose contents in pockets or containers. Do not confuse with the transitive verb ausfallen, which denotes a failure of a system or the cancellation of an event, and typically uses haben as an auxiliary in most senses.
