verstauben
to become dusty
- Past (Präteritum)
- verstaubte
- Past participle
- verstaubt (sein)
Regular weak verb, which takes sein because it describes the change of state to becoming covered in dust. It is typically used for objects left unused for a long time in corners, basements, or attics. Figuratively, it can describe knowledge or skills that have been neglected and forgotten over time. It is distinct from stauben, which is an active verb meaning to emit dust during a process like cleaning or hammering and takes haben as its auxiliary instead of sein.
