ierenVerb
ierenVerb is a term used in German grammar to denote verbs whose infinitive ends in -ieren. These verbs are typically regular (weak) verbs and form their tenses in a predictable way. Many -ieren verbs are formed from nouns or adjectives by adding the suffix -ieren, and a large portion are borrowings from French, Latin, or English. The meaning often relates to the process or action associated with the root.
In present tense, -ieren verbs conjugate like other weak verbs. The stem is the infinitive minus -en,
Usage and nuances: The ge- prefix is generally not used with -ieren verbs in forming the past
