weichen
to retreat
- Past participle
- gewichen (sein)
Irregular strong verb using the auxiliary sein due to the sense of directional change or physical withdrawal from a position. It is commonly used to describe physically stepping back or yielding ground in a literal or abstract struggle. It is often used with directional prepositions like vor oder von. Note that the homonym weichen meaning to soak is a different regular weak verb that takes haben.
