linken
to trick
- Past (Präteritum)
- linkte
- Past participle
- gelinkt (haben)
Regular weak verb used transitively to describe deceiving or swindling someone. It is frequently employed in colloquial speech to suggest a dishonest act. Note that the verb is derived from the noun Linker or the adjective links, but as a verb, it is distinct from the motion-related use of links as a direction. Do not confuse this with the verb lenken, which means to steer or guide.
