verwechseln

to confuse with, to mix up

Past (Präteritum)
verwechselte
Past participle
verwechselt (haben)

A regular verb that is inseparable because of the unstressed prefix ver-. It is commonly used with the preposition 'mit' to indicate what something is confused with (e.g., jemanden mit jemandem verwechseln). The past participle is verwechselt, ending in -t rather than -en because of the inseparable prefix rule for verbs ending in -eln/eren/igen/ieren verbs, but here strictly adhering to the regular dental suffix logic for inseparable verbs starting with ver- (ver-wechsel-t). Note that it is 'haben' as it is a transitive verb taking an accusative object, even though it denotes a shift in perception or mental state rather than physical movement or state change. Because it is regular, there are no stem changes in the past tense or subjunctive forms beyond the standard suffixes added to the base stem verwechsel-.
