## Luxembourgish
### Alternative forms

* dinn (chiefly south-western dialects; remains common)
* dunn (dated)

### Etymology

From Middle High German duon, from Old High German duon, a northern variety of tuon, from Proto-West Germanic *dōn. The phonetically regular form is dunn. The form doen seems to be a backformation from the past participle by analogy with verbs such as droen, schloen.

### Pronunciation

* IPA: /ˈdoːen/, [ˈdoː.ən]
** Rhymes: -oːən

### Verb

doen (third-person singular present deet, preterite doung, past participle gedoen, past subjunctive déit or déing, auxiliary verb hunn)
* to do
* to make, cause

#### Usage notes

* The verb is overall rare and widely replaced with maachen (even in many cases where German would use tun rather than machen).
* The preterite doung is obsolete in general Luxembourgish, whereas the subjunctive déit (déing) still sees some usage as an alternative auxiliary for the conditional tense: ech déit soen (“I would say”) instead of ech géif soen, ech géing soen.

#### Conjugation

(n) or (nn) indicates the Eifeler Regel.

#### Derived terms

* ausdoen
* hindoen
* ofdoen
* opdoen
* undoen
