to brush against

Past (Präteritum)

Past participle
gestreift (haben)

Regular weak verb taking haben in the sense of making light contact with an object while passing by. It describes a transient physical encounter, often occurring when moving through tall vegetation or tight spaces. In its transitive usage, it denotes the act of touching a surface briefly or tangentially. It should not be confused with the irregular verb 'streifen' meaning to roam, which is also sometimes conjugated with sein in travel contexts.
