verkreeg

Verkreeg is the simple past tense form of the Dutch verb verkrijgen, meaning to obtain or acquire. It is used to indicate that something was obtained in the past, typically in written or formal contexts.

The verb verkrijgen is formed from the prefix ver- and the root krijgen, which means to receive or obtain. Verkreeg is the past tense form used with singular subjects, while the past participle of verkrijgen is verkregen, used for perfect tenses such as hebben verkregen or is verkregen.
