umkehren
to turn back
- Past (Präteritum)
- kehrte um
- Past participle
- umgekehrt (sein)
Regular weak verb using sein due to the implication of motion. It specifically refers to stopping a journey or activity and heading back to the point of origin, frequently used regarding routes, travel, or decisions. It is strictly separable, meaning the prefix um- always detaches from the verb root in simple tenses. It should not be confused with the inseparable verb umkehren (to invert/reverse), which takes haben.
