IPA(key): [ˈtaɪ̯mən]
Hyphenation: ti‧men
=== Verb ===
timen (weak, third-person singular present timt or (proscribed) timet, past tense timte or (proscribed) timete, past participle getimt or getimed or (proscribed) getimet, auxiliary haben)
to time (e.g. with a stopwatch)
==== Usage notes ====
Inflected forms except timen (infinitive; 1. and 3. person plural indicative present active) and the past participle might be rare, at least in writing.
In the forms with stem time- (er timet, er timete, er hatte getimet or getimed) the e often is silent (as in timet, timete, getimet) but sometimes it's not (as in timen).
As with other verbs of English origin where ⟨a⟩, ⟨i⟩ correspond to [ɛɪ̯], [aɪ̯], the conjugated forms commonly (but unofficially) retain the -e- (as in er *timet, sie *timete etc.).
German verbs borrowed from English can optionally form the past participle (Partizip II) in -ed in two cases
The English verb ends in a silent ⟨e⟩:
English like → German liken → geliked (previously only gelikt)
The verb's past participle is usually not inflected:
English relax → German relaxen → relaxed (previously only relaxt)
But -ed- is not permitted when the participle is inflected, thus:
meine gelikten Bilder (not meine *gelikeden Bilder)
ein relaxter Abend (not ein *relaxeder Abend)
