schieflaufen
to go wrong
- Past (Präteritum)
- lief schief
- Past participle
- schiefgelaufen (sein)
Irregular strong verb formed with the adverb schief and the verb laufen, taking sein due to change of state. It describes situations, plans, or events that do not proceed according to intentions or expectations. It is strictly intransitive and often used in the past tense to describe a failure or unexpected outcome. Do not confuse this with the literal movement of walking at an angle.
