schreiten
to stride
- Past (Präteritum)
- schritt
- Past participle
- geschritten (sein)
Irregular strong verb using sein due to the sense of directional motion. It denotes a slow, deliberate, or dignified gait, often associated with a sense of purpose or solemnity. While literally referring to the physical movement of walking, it is frequently used in idiomatic phrases like zur Tat schreiten, meaning to take action or move forward with a plan. Note that its preterite form is identical to the noun der Schritt, which means step.
