Talk:erwachsen

Third person singular preterite

According to the reverso conjugator, the third person preterite form of erwachsen is erwuchst, but I have no idea how to set it. --Kc kennylau (talk) 09:20, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

That site seems to make its guesses as to what the various forms are according to an algorithm. Like many sites that generate conjugations in that way, it contains errors, though it is odd that the algorithm it uses got that form wrong, while our template and the German Wiktionary's both got it right. In any case, erwuchs is the right form (as indicated by the various dictionaries de.Wikt cites, and by google books:"er|sie erwuchs" vs google books:"er|sie erwuchst"). - -sche (discuss) 10:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
