== Dutch == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /rɛ.nə(n)/ Hyphenation: ren‧nen Rhymes: -ɛnən === Etymology 1 === A merger of two related verbs: Middle Dutch rinnen (“to flow, to run fast”), from Old Dutch *rinnan, from Proto-Germanic *rinnaną. Middle Dutch rennen (“to run/ride fast”), from Old Dutch *rennen, from Proto-Germanic *rannijaną. Doublet with runnen (“to manage”). ==== Alternative forms ==== rinnen (obsolete) runnen (mainly sense thicken) ==== Verb ==== rennen (intransitive, about people or animals) to run, to move fast ===== Conjugation ===== ===== Synonyms ===== (to move fast): hardlopen, lopen ===== Derived terms ===== ===== Descendants ===== → Papiamentu: ren (dated) === Etymology 2 === ==== Noun ==== rennen plural of ren == German == === Etymology === From a merger of transitive / causative Old High German rennan (“to make something run or flow”) (from Proto-Germanic *rannijaną), and intransitive Old High German rinnan (“to run or flow”) (from Proto-Germanic *rinnaną). A similar development of merging roots can be seen in Dutch rennen and English run as well. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈʁɛnən], /ˈʁɛnn̩/ (Germany) IPA(key): /ˈʁɛnɛn/ (Austria, Southern Germany, Switzerland) Hyphenation: ren‧nen Rhymes: -ɛnən === Verb === rennen (irregular weak, third-person singular present rennt, past tense rannte, past participle gerannt, past subjunctive rennte, auxiliary haben or sein) (intransitive) to run; to race; to sprint (said of competing sportsmen, animals etc.) [auxiliary sein] (transitive) to run over (someone) [auxiliary haben] jemanden zu Boden rennen ― to run someone to the ground ==== Usage notes ==== Although laufen is used more frequently than rennen in the sense of to run, the latter is often used to describe running fast or to an excessive degree like a hunting animal or a sprinter. Die Sportler rannten alle sehr schnell. — The sportsmen all ran very fast. -but- Sie laufen, wie jeden Morgen, zu Fuß zur Schule. — They run (or jog) to school on foot, as they do every morning. ==== Conjugation ==== As a result of the merger of Old High German rinnan and rennan, the verb does follow the same ablaut-pattern as kennen but has regular endings in its preterite and past participle like other weak conjugated verbs. ==== Hyponyms ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== See also ==== laufen rasen Raserei f === Further reading === “rennen”, in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache‎[1] (in German) “rennen” in Uni Leipzig: Wortschatz-Lexikon “rennen” in Duden online “rennen” in OpenThesaurus.de == Japanese == === Romanization === rennen Rōmaji transcription of れんねん == Luxembourgish == === Etymology === Cognate with German rennen, Dutch rennen, English run. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈʀænən/ Rhymes: -ænən === Verb === rennen (third-person singular present rennt, past participle gerannt, auxiliary verb sinn) (intransitive) to run ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Synonyms ==== (to run): lafen == Middle English == === Etymology 1 === Partially from Old English rinnan, with variants from irnan, iernan, from Proto-West Germanic *rinnan, from Proto-Germanic *rinnaną (“to flow, run”); partially from Old Norse rinna, renna (“to flow, run”), from the same Proto-Germanic source.
