leisten
to perform
- Past (Präteritum)
- leistete
- Past participle
- geleistet (haben)
Regular weak verb taking haben. It is used to describe the completion of a task, the achievement of a goal, or the rendering of a service, often emphasizing the effort involved. In reflexive form, 'sich leisten', it additionally denotes the financial ability to afford something. It is distinct from 'leisten' in the sense of a 'Leiste' (strip or molding), which relates to craftsmanship or anatomy rather than performance.
