verdwijnt

Verdwijnt is the third-person singular present tense form of the Dutch verb verdwijnen, which means to disappear or vanish. It is used when the subject is he, she, or it, and it denotes a process by which something becomes no longer visible or present. The word can describe objects, people, events, or phenomena that fade from view or cease to exist in a given context.

Verdwijnen is an intransitive verb; it does not take a direct object in standard usage. The prefix ver- is a common Dutch element that often accompanies verbs to indicate a change of state or movement, while the root dwijnen refers to fading or ceasing to be. The verb belongs to the regular category of Dutch weak verbs in its present tense conjugation, and its related forms are used to express different tenses and aspects.

Present tense conjugation forms include: ik verdwijn, jij verdwijnt, hij/zij/het verdwijnt, wij verdwijnen, jullie verdwijnen, zij verdwijnen. The present tense form verdwijnt signals a current disappearance, while the plural forms involve the stem verdwij- plus the standard plural endings.

Usage and examples: sentences typically describe something that ceases to be visible or present in a given moment, such as "Het vliegtuig verdwijnt achter de wolken" or "De herinnering verdwijnt na verloop van tijd uit het geheugen." The past tense is verdween, and the past participle is verdwenen, used in perfect tenses with hebben or zijn depending on construction.
