klappen
to work out well
- Past (Präteritum)
- klappte
- Past participle
- geklappt (haben)
Regular weak verb taking haben. It is used to describe that a plan, process, or task proceeds successfully without complications. In common parlance, it functions as a synonym for succeeding or functioning as intended. Do not confuse this with the verb klappen meaning to fold or to slam, which often implies a physical movement of a hinged object like a lid or a table leaf, though the conjugation remains identical in the weak pattern. It is rarely used in the passive voice due to its intransitive nature when meaning to succeed successfully as in 'everything worked out'.
