Verb

spazieren (weak, third-person singular present spaziert, past tense spazierte, past participle spaziert, auxiliary sein or (rare) haben)

  1. to take a walk, to stroll, to walk leisurely

Usage notes

  • The auxiliary is necessarily sein when a direction is given: Wir sind zum Teich spaziert. (We took a walk to the pond.)
