# Gothic verbs

Gothic verbs have the most complex conjugation of any attested Germanic language. Most categories reconstructed for the Proto-Germanic verb system are preserved in Gothic. Knowledge of the Proto-Germanic verb is itself to a large degree based on Gothic, meaning that its reconstruction may be fragmentary.
In conjugations, note that stem-final -b- /β/ and -d- /ð/ change spelling and pronunciation to become -f /ɸ/ and -þ /θ/ respectively at the end of a word. Stem final -g- /ɣ/ also presumably became /x/, but the spelling does not change. Similarly, verb stems ending in -ái-, -áu-, -ē-, -iu-, and -ō- become -aj-, -aw, -ai-, -iw, and -au- respectively, before vowels. Expected *áij, *áuw, and *iuw are always simplified into ái, áu, and iu (respectively).

## Voice
### Passive voice

Gothic retains a morphological passive voice inherited from the Indo-European medio-passive, but only in the present indicative and optative (the past tense uses periphrasis). This contrasts a present tense such as gibada ("is being given") with a past tense gibans was* ("was given, has been given"). In other Germanic languages, there are only rare survivals of the morphological passive, such as Old English hātte ("am called"). The Gothic infinitive did not indicate active or passive voice and is sometimes employed to translate Greek passive infinitives.
In the attested corpus of Gothic, passive forms are frequent only in the third person, and for weak verbs, mostly in class 1. The periphrastic passive consists of a participle, which agrees with the subject in gender and number, and a helping verb. The helping verb varies by aspect: wisan ("to be") creates a stative passive (gibans was*, "was given, has been given"), whereas the verb wairþan ("to become") creates an inchoative passive (gibans warþ, "came to be given, got given").
Class four weak verbs (infinitive in -nan) are agentless and do not take passive forms; they are used to translate Greek passives, and are sometimes referred to as passive as well, although this is not strictly correct.

## Strong verbs

Germanic language strong verbs are verbs that change the vowel in the stem to form the past and past participle, rather than add a suffix. For an English example, contrast fall-fell-fallen (strong) from fell-felled (weak).
The following is a table of all the different types and subtypes of strong verbs.
| Strong verb classes | Strong verb classes | Stem vowel | Stem vowel | Stem vowel | Stem vowel |
| Class | Subclass | General | Past 1 | Past 2 | Past Participle |
| 1 | 1 | ei | ái | i, aí (before h, ƕ, r) | i, aí (before h, ƕ, r) |
| 2 | 2a | iu | áu | u, aú (before h, ƕ, r) | u, aú (before h, ƕ, r) |
| 2 | 2b | ū | áu | u, aú (before h, ƕ, r) | u, aú (before h, ƕ, r) |
| 3 | 3 | i, aí (before h, ƕ, r) | a | u, aú (before h, ƕ, r) | u, aú (before h, ƕ, r) |
| 4 | 4a | i, aí (before h, ƕ, r) | a | ē | u, aú |
| 4 | 4b | u, aú (before h, ƕ, r) | a | ē | u, aú |
| 5 | 5 | i, aí (before h, ƕ, r) | a | ē | i, aí (before h, ƕ, r) |
| 6 | 6 | a | ō | ō | a |
| 7 | 7a | C+a, ā, ái, au, áu, ē, or ō | CaíC+infinitive vowel | CaíC+infinitive vowel | same as infinitive |
| 7 | 7b | C+ai, ē | CaíCō | CaíCō | same as infinitive |
The "general" stem is used for the present tense, infinitive and imperative. The "past 1" stem is used for the past tense indicative singular, and the "past 2" is used for the dual and plural indicative past as well as the past optative past in all numbers.
Classes 5 and 6 have a small subclass of verbs that use the consonant suffix -j- in the general form, but drop it elsewhere
Reduplicating/ Class 7 strong verbs that begin with a vowel simply add aí- as a prefix, without adding a consonant to reduplicate or separate the "aí" prefix from the stem vowel.

## Weak verbs

Weak verbs in Germanic languages are defined by the past tense being formed by a suffix, rather than the stem vowel changing. In the case of Gothic, further subclasses are defined by the vowel that comes before the past-tense prefix, as well as other forms of the verb. Generally, the present tense, infinitive, and imperative share the same personal suffixes with strong verbs.
The following table outlines the common past-tense suffix between weak verbs; note that a thematic vowel is always used before this suffix:
Weak past-tense suffix :
| Subject | Subject | Indicative | Optative |
| Singular | 1st person | -da | -dēdjáu |
| Singular | 2nd person | -dēs | -dēdeis |
| Singular | 3rd person | -da | -dēdi |
| Dual | 1st person | -dēdu | -dēdeiwa |
| Dual | 2nd person | -dēduts | -dēdeits |
| Plural | 1st person | -dēdum | -dēdeima |
| Plural | 2nd person | -dēduþ | -dēdeiþ |
| Plural | 3rd person | -dēdun | -dēdeina |

### Class 1

Class 1 verbs are defined by having the thematic vowel -i-; which becomes -j- before vowels and becomes -ei- after long stems before -i-. The following is a sample paradigm of two class 1 weak verbs, nasjan "to save" (short stem-syllable), and sōkjan "to seek" (long stem-syllable; only differing forms shown):
Class 1 weak verb conjugation :
| Nasjan, "to save"; Sōkjan, "to seek" | Nasjan, "to save"; Sōkjan, "to seek" | Indicative | Indicative | Indicative | Indicative | Indicative | Indicative | Optative | Optative | Optative | Optative | Optative | Optative | Imperative | Imperative |

Some class 1 verbs have an irregular past due to the fact that the -i- in the past was lost in Proto-Germanic:
Class 1 stem-changing verbs :
| General stem | Infinitive | Past stem | Past Participle | Meaning |
| brigg- | briggan | brāht- | *brāhts | "to bring" |
| brūkj- | brūkjan | brūht- | *brūhts | "to use" |
| bugj- | bugjan | baúht- | *baúhts | "to buy" |
| gagg- | gaggan | iddja, gaggida | gaggans | "to go" |
| káupatj- | káupatjan | káupast- | káupatiþs | "to buffet" |
| þagkj- | þagkjan | þāht- | þāhts | "to think" |
| þugkj- | þugkjan | þūht- | þūhts | "to seem" |
| waúrkj- | waúrkjan | waúrht- | waúrhts | "to work" |
* gaggan is properly a Class 7 strong verb. iddja is declined like a weak verb. A weak past gaggida also occurs once.
* briggan is properly a Class 3 strong verb, with other parts taken from a lost verb *braggjan (cf. Old English breng(e)an, Old Saxon brengian).

### Class 2

Class 2 weak verbs are defined by having the thematic vowel -ō-.

### Class 3

Class 3 weak verbs are marked by having the vowels -a- and -ái- as the thematic vowels. The two thematic vowels are used differently depending on form, with only -ái- being used in the past tense.

Class 3 is apparently a closed class, containing only the following verbs:
áistan "to reverence", ana-silan "to be silent", andstaúrran "to murmur against", arman "to pity", bauan "to dwell", fastan "to fast, hold firm", fijan "to hate", gageigan "to gain", gakunnan "to recognize", haban "to have", hatan "to hate", jiukan "to contend", leikan "to please", liban "to live", liugan "to marry", maúrnan "to mourn", munan "to consider", reiran "to tremble", saúrgan "to sorrow", sifan "to rejoice", skaman (sik) "to be ashamed", slawan "to be silent", trauan "to trust", swēran "to honour", þahan "to be silent", witan "to watch, observe".
Possibly also *bnauan "to rub" belongs here—only the present participle occurs, which is not enough to tell whether this is a Class 3 weak verb or Class 7 strong verb.
Notes:
* bauan "to dwell" was originally a Class 7 strong verb (cf. Old Icelandic būa "to dwell", past singular bjō, past participle būenn), and the third singular present indicative is still normally bauiþ, a strong form (vs. *bauáiþ, the expected weak form).
* hatan also occurs as a Class 1 weak verb hatjan.

### Class 4

Class 4 weak verbs have the suffix -n, in addition to a thematic vowel -ō- in the past tense. In all other tenses, the suffix -n is used before strong verb suffixes.
The following is a sample paradigm of a class 4 weak verb, fullnan "to become full":

## Preterite-present verbs

So-called "preterite-present verbs" are a feature of Germanic languages that have a present tense formed like the past tense (or "preterite") of strong verbs. The verbs often have the semantics of modal verbs, and in fact the present-day English modal verbs "can, could, may, might, shall, should, must" are descended from Old English preterite-present verbs. The past tense of these verbs is a new formation and has the endings of weak verbs. Arguably, all seven classes of strong verbs are represented in Gothic by at least one preterite-present verb.
The following table presents almost all extant forms of each of the existing preterite-present verbs in Gothic. Many of the missing forms can be derived from existing forms as the number of principal parts is small—in fact, three is usually enough: First/third person singular present indicative, first (or third) person plural present indicative, first/third person singular past indicative. However, occasional small irregularities may occur, and the table below errs on the side of under-generalization. Forms with an *italicized asterisk are reconstructions based on knowledge of other forms or forms from other Germanic languages.
Furthermore, present participles are given a gloss, since the participle often has an unpredictable meaning; especially when the verb in question is inherently intransitive. *ōgan ("to fear") is the only verb in the group known to have an imperative.
