fallt

Fallt is a German verb form derived from fallen, meaning to fall. In standard usage, fallt is the present tense form used with the subject ihr, the informal second-person plural meaning "you all." The full present tense conjugation of fallen is: ich falle, du fällst, er/sie/es fällt, wir fallen, ihr fallt, sie/Sie fallen. The form fallt appears specifically with the plural informal you.

In addition to its present-tense use, fallt appears as part of the imperative mood in the plural: Fallt! This imperative form is used to tell a group to fall down or to lie down, and is typically written with capitalization only at the start of a sentence (Fallt!). The imperative form contrasts with the related form fallt in the indicative present, which does not convey command.

Orthography and phonology notes: fallt lacks the umlaut seen in other forms of fallen (e.g., du fällst, er fällt). The pronunciation of fallt in the present indicative is [falt], with a simple short a vowel in many dialects.

Examples:

- Present indicative: Ihr fallt oft, wenn ihr bergauf geht. (You all fall often when you go uphill.)

- Imperative: Fallt euch hin! (Fall down yourselves! / Lie down, you lot.)

Fallt serves mainly as a grammatical form within German verb morphology and does not represent a separate lexical item outside this context. For broader understanding, it is connected to the verb fallen and its related forms across tense, mood, and voice. See also fallen, German conjugation, and ihr.
