Weak verbs form their past tense and past participle with a dental suffix. There are two classes of weak verbs.


Class 1 weak verbs have an iotated present stem. In the past tense, ''-d-'' is devoiced to ''-t-'' after obstruents, which are fricatized (see [[Gothedish#Addition_of_-t-|morphophonology]] for more information). There is one irregular class 1 weak verb with a non-iotated present stem: ''bringen'' "to bring" (past stem: ''braht-'').

In class 2 weak verbs, the past ''-d-'' does not affect the preceding consonant and is only devoiced if preceded by a devoiced consonant. Vowel length is preserved.
