Drehe

Drehe is a German verb form. It is the first-person singular present tense of drehen, the verb that means to turn, rotate, or wind. As a conjugated form, drehe appears in sentences with the subject ich (I).

As a form, drehe is not a standalone noun. It functions as a verb so its meaning depends on the accompanying object or context. For example: Ich drehe den Knopf langsam. This illustrates its use in ordinary present-tense statements about turning something.

Origin and related terms: The infinitive of the verb is drehen. Related nouns include Drehung (the act of turning or a rotation) and Drehmoment (torque or moment of turning). In German, several related words are formed from the same verb stem, such as der Dreher (a person who turns, or a lathe operator) and Dreh- compounds used in technical terms.

In other Germanic languages, cognates exist to express the same concept of turning or twisting, such as Dutch draaien or English turn, reflecting shared linguistic roots across the family. Overall, drehe is a common inflected form used in everyday German to describe actions of turning or winding.
