schrecken
to startle
- Past (Präteritum)
- schreckte
- Past participle
- geschreckt (haben)
Regular weak verb taking haben to describe the act of suddenly jumping or being frightened by an unexpected event. It is commonly reflexive or used with adverbs like 'hoch' to emphasize the sudden movement caused by alarm. Do not confuse this with the strong intransitive variant 'schrecken' (past 'schrak', participle 'geschrocken'), which implies being frightened as a state.
