weiten
to widen
- Past (Präteritum)
- weitete
- Past participle
- geweitet (haben)
Regular weak verb taking haben. It is used to describe the act of making something wider, such as eyes expanding in surprise or a tailor adjusting clothing. It is frequently used in the reflexive form 'sich weiten' when referring to pupils or passages expanding naturally. Distinguish this from 'weitern', which is an informal, non-standard spelling sometimes used in dialects for 'weitermachen'. Its use here relates to the sudden opening or enlargement of the eyes in response to a shock or revelation, denoting physical reaction to intense emotion or focus on an object of importance.
