zuwenden
to turn towards
- Past (Präteritum)
- wandte zu
- Past participle
- zugewandt (haben)
Irregular weak verb taking haben. It describes directing one's attention, physical posture, or focus towards a specific person, object, or topic. It is frequently used in both physical contexts, like turning to face someone, and abstract contexts, such as dedicating effort to a task. Note that this is a separable verb in its primary meaning, distinct from the rarely used inseparable formal verb zuwenden meaning to bestow or grant, which follows the same conjugation pattern but lacks a separable prefix.
