verderben
to spoil/perish
- Past (Präteritum)
- verdarb
- Past participle
- verdorben (haben/sein)
Strong verb, typically taking sein when describing a state change, and haben when describing the act of causing spoilage. Primarily used for food items that become unusable due to improper storage or age. It can also be used figuratively to describe the moral corruption of a person or character. Do not confuse this with the weak causative verb verderben (to ruin/corrupt), which is consistently used with haben in specific legal or moral contexts.
