WERDE Meaning and Definition

  1. "Werde" is a German verb that serves as the first-person singular form of the present tense of the verb "werden." It is derived from the Old High German word "werdan," which means "to become" or "to change." In German, "werde" can function both as a standalone verb or as an auxiliary verb, often used with the infinitive verb to form the future tense.

    As a standalone verb, "werde" expresses the action of becoming or transforming into something. It conveys the idea of a gradual change or development. For example, "Ich werde glücklich" translates to "I am becoming happy" or "I am getting happy." Here, "werde" signifies the change in emotional state or the transition towards happiness.

    In its auxiliary form, "werde" is commonly used to create the future tense. When combined with the infinitive form of the main verb, it indicates an action or event that will happen in the future. For instance, "Ich werde lesen" means "I will read." In this case, "werde" functions as the conjugated auxiliary verb indicating a forthcoming action, while "lesen" represents the main verb indicating the specific action of reading.

    Overall, "werde" is a versatile verb in German, typically used to denote the process of becoming or changing, or to express the future tense when combined with other verbs.
