Central Franconian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Old High German denken. The long vowel of the past forms does not preserve the original Old High German length, but is due to a secondary, regular lengthening before -ch. (Were it original, would it have developed into /ɔː/.)
Pronunciation[edit]
Verb[edit]
denke (third-person singular present denk or denkt, past tense daach or daacht, past participle jedaach or gedaacht)
- (most dialects) to think
- Dat hatt ich mer allt jedaach, datt dä widder net kütt...
- I’d already thought by myself that he wouldn’t appear yet again...
Usage notes[edit]
- The inflected forms with final -t are Moselle Franconian, those without are Ripuarian.
