VirtuellesKoelsch⏰Zigg för Grammatik! Kölsch-Tipp: Viele Verben enden im Infinitiv auf -e, wie „kaufe“, „lese“, „setze“. Aber Achtung! Es gibt auch welche mit -n, wie „sin“ (sein) und „stonn“ (stehen).

Hebrew by InbalThis super commom verb in Hebrew is used in this infinitive form when someone calls out to get even closer so that they can get more individuals/items in;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3IGl6VrKGk/?igsh=Znh0aDdreDMzb3dv" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3IGl6VrKGk/?igsh=Znh0aDdreDMzb3dv</a>When someone describes how little space there was in a crowd so you really had to move tightly with very little space; And just like any verb, you conjugate it based on number, gender, and tense. While it is not the shortest one, it is very useful, especially in the small and often crowded land of Israel.<a href="https://babka.social/tags/crowd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crowd</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/crowded" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crowded</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/verb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#verb</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/hebrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hebrew</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/cute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cute</a>

getmischI'm a big proponent of "someone who..." rather than saying "someone that..."

Lex BaileyOkay, strange question, but... In your opinion, is a verb always required to form a sentence?For example, there is no verb in "A wild hedgehog."
