losen

to draw lots

Past (Präteritum)

loste

Past participle

gelost (haben)

Regular weak verb using haben to indicate the action of selecting or deciding something by drawing lots or tossing a coin. It is frequently used in sports or game contexts to determine teams or starting positions. It is often confused with the verb lösen, which means to solve or detach, but follows a different semantic and orthographic pattern due to the lack of an umlaut in its stem vowel throughout the paradigm, except in rare derivation cases. Do not confuse with the adjective los, meaning loose or rid of something, which serves as a predicative modifier rather than a verbal form.
