zupfen
to tug
- Past (Präteritum)
- zupfte

Regular weak verb using haben. It typically refers to small, repetitive pulling movements on clothing, skin, or strings. Often used with a prepositional phrase indicating the location of the tugging, such as at a shirt or an apron. It is not to be confused with zupfen in the sense of plucking eyebrows or feathers, which shares the same conjugation pattern but varies in stylistic register and domain of use.
