stutzen
to pause in surprise
- Past (Präteritum)
- stutzte
- Past participle
- gestutzt (haben)
Regular weak verb taking haben. It describes an abrupt physical or mental halt caused by a sudden realization, suspicion, or unexpected detail. It is commonly used with subjects experiencing doubt, often linked by a causal clause or an object of observation. Do not confuse this with the strong, irregular verb stutzen meaning to trim or prune, which uses the same form but refers strictly to physical shortening.
