gilten

== German == === Alternative forms === gilden gülden === Etymology === From a colloquial merger of various dialectal forms of gelten and the related (obsolete) gülten. === Verb === gilten (weak, third-person singular present giltet, past tense giltete, past participle gegiltet, auxiliary haben) (especially Austria, colloquial, chiefly childish) to count; to be valid Synonym: gelten Das giltet nicht! Ich war noch gar nicht fertig! ― That doesn’t count! I wasn’t even ready yet! ==== Usage notes ==== Although this verb is fully conjugable, the 3rd-person singular present giltet is by far the commonest form. It is often used as if it were a form of gelten, thus instead of standard gilt. ==== Conjugation ====
