wirken
to appear
- Past (Präteritum)
- wirkte
- Past participle
- gewirkt (haben)
Regular weak verb taking haben. It is used to describe the impression an object or person makes on an observer, often paired with adjectives like müde, seltsam, or ruhig. It can also signify having an effect or impact, as in medicine or social influence. Note that the archaic or poetic synonym wirken in the sense of weaving or laboring follows the same conjugation pattern but is restricted to specific technical or literary registers.
