verbracht

Verbracht is the past participle of the German verb verbringen, which means to spend or to pass (time, days, a period) in a place or with an activity. The verb is commonly used to describe how someone spent a portion of time, such as a day, vacation, or evening.

In general usage, verbracht appears in compound tenses with the auxiliary haben. For example: Ich habe den Abend zu Hause verbracht. We have also: Wir haben das Wochenende am Strand verbracht. The simple past form of verbringen is verbrachte, as in Er verbrachte den Sommer in Italien. The prefix ver- in verbringen is inseparable, so the verb is not split in conjugation.

Common contexts include time spent on travel, leisure, or work: Zeit verbracht, Urlaub verbracht, oder Tage, Wochen, Monate verbracht. The expression Zeit verbringen is closely related and more neutral in everyday speech: Wir verbringen viel Zeit miteinander. The passive sense is rare; verbracht remains a participle form used in tenses rather than a separate passive.

Related forms include the noun das Verbringen (the act or process of spending time) and related verbs with similar meanings such as aufwenden or verbringen in other idioms. Practically, verbracht is a versatile form used to report what was spent or passed, often paired with地点 or activity to specify where or how the time was used.
