[edit]German
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Middle High German scheiden, from Old High German sceidan, from Proto-West Germanic *skaiþan.
See also Dutch scheiden, West Frisian skiede, and English shed, Welsh chwydu (“to break open”), Lithuanian skíesti (“to separate”), Old Church Slavonic чѣдити (čěditi, “to filter, strain”), Ancient Greek σχίζω (skhízō, “to split”), Old Armenian ցտեմ (cʻtem, “to scratch”), and Sanskrit च्यति (cyati, “he cuts off”).
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]scheiden (class 1 strong, third-person singular present scheidet, past tense schied, past participle geschieden, auxiliary haben or sein)
- (transitive, dated, literary) to separate
- (intransitive or reflexive, dated, literary) to leave one another; to part; to be separated; to be divided
- (transitive) to dissolve (a marriage); to divorce (a couple)
- Der Richter weigerte sich, die Ehe zu scheiden. ― The judge refused to dissolve the marriage.
- (transitive, with lassen) to have (a marriage) dissolved
- Sie wollen ihre Ehe scheiden lassen. ― They want to dissolve their marriage.
- (reflexive, with lassen) to divorce (one's spouse); to get a divorce (from one's spouse)
- Meine Frau will sich von mir scheiden lassen. ― My wife wants to divorce me.
Usage notes
[edit]- The perfect auxiliary is haben in transitive and reflexive uses, and always in constructions with lassen. In intransitive uses, the auxiliary is sein, but such instances are rare in contemporary German. Note that in a phrase like Sie ist geschieden (“She's divorced”), the verb sein is the copula, not the perfect auxiliary.
- The present participle scheidend has an idiomatic sense “retiring, resigning, about to be replaced”: der scheidende Vorstandsvorsitzende — “the retiring CEO”.
